Bad Days and Good Days

Terrible time at the track last week for 800s. Nemo had to keep me from quitting 4 times. Thanks buddy.
6 easy in the morning from Wilson Bridge
Track in the evening (8 miles total)
2 mile warm up
800 on 2:50 with 1:15 recovery
800 on 2:52 with 1:25 recovery
800 on 2:53 with 1:30 recovery
800 on 2:54 with 4:01 recovery
800 on 2:49 with 1:33 recovery
800 on 2:58 with 2:22 recovery
800 on 2:56 with 1:40 recovery
800 on 3:01
.5 mile cool down

Good Long Run on Sunday with MD. I caught him less than 24 hours after his plane back from India and he was a little sluggish so that was fun. 22 miles with the last few in the low 7:10s

Back at the track this Tuesday for what was supposed to be 3x2000. MD killed it but I came up short. When I saw my mile time on the last interval I bagged it.
Target Interval Time: 7:25 to 7:34
2.5 mile warm up
2000 on 7:45 with 400 recovery
2000 on 7:55 with 400 recovery
1600 on 6:38
2 mile cool down

I ran faster miles in a tempo run 2 weeks ago. I'm tired and ready to taper. Took yesterday off and hit the Lifetime Treadmill this morning for a few quick 400s just to make sure I could still run fast. Nothing crazy, just 5x400 on 1:30 with 400 recovery. My heart was racing...must need more sleep or something.
