Speed work 52:00 [4]
rhr:39 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline
Intervals at DuVal HS. 3x1000 in 4:04, 4:07, 4:05, 4-min rest between, 15-min jog there and back.
A bunch of soccer players came out for practice as I was starting, and during my second interval they were basically all over the track, forcing me wide on the turns. Then a couple of guys decided to run with me on the third interval. I told them what we were doing and how far, and they were game. This had a couple of effects on my time. Normally, kids think it's fun to step in front of me "accidentally" as I'm going by, but when the guys were with me we got some respect. Plus, of course, I had to pick up the pace to show them what the old guy could do. They dropped out after 600 m (I think their coach was giving them the high sign), but one kid caught up to me afterwards and asked me about my training. This was all pretty positive, and I hope I see them again one week.
Butterflies on this run: many Pierids in the grass.
