I went to bed last night feeling a bit of a sore throat and it was still around this morning but seems to be getting better as the day goes on.  I wanted to do a small workout today and I don't really feel super good, but I did one anyways.  I can tell that I have had zero speed in a while, and I haven't done a track workout since the first part of August.  I warmed up for two miles and hit the high school track.  I should have switched watches because my Garmin isn't my favorite speed work watch.  I decided to run the track backwards and I did 3x800 with 400 meter recovery and 2x400 with a 200 meter recovery.  My times were 2:37, 2:37, 2:32, 1:14, and 1:10.  It was weird to run faster than marathon pace and felt kind of difficult , which means I would get smoked in a 5k or 10k right now.  I cooled down for a mile and called it good for today.  I don't want to over work myself right now.  6 miles total.

Paul said he might come down on Saturday and do the same run we did last weekend. He said he might be busy with work though. Do you want to come regardless? 15 miles sounds nice to me!
