Finally made myself get up early enough to make it to the Cardozo Crawlers track workout over on the funny-shaped Banneker track on Georgia Avenue. It was a small but very friendly and welcoming group. Today's workout was 4x800m at 5-10km pace, then 6x200m at 5km pace, then 4x100m strides. I mostly ran with Charlie, a guy about my speed. The 800's were
2:50
2:51
2:49
2:47
The 200's were around the 36-37 second range. Much easier to run track intervals with company. Let's see if I can make myself do this regularly.

Slow long run from home in the morning. I ran a loop around Rock Creek, going up Valley Trail to the Boundary Bridge and then running back along Western Ridge Trail. It was gray and windy, but not too cold. Running on the ice and frozen mud reminded me of Uppsala this time of year. A very pleasant run. I spent some of my time thinking of what went wrong with my orienteering in Georgia yesterday and how to maintain focus for multiple races in a weekend. I think more concentrated map study is necessary. I had a map from the 2012 Billygoat with me for practicing map reading on the run.
