Sam convinced me to get up relatively early and go to the track for some speed work. Legs are still a bit tight but I am happy to get started on more regular track workouts now.

Conditions a little chilly and windy, threatening to rain. Last night I was thinking to do 10 x 400 @ 70, but the first interval put that idea to rest for me quite quickly. I instead settled on 8 x 400 and the pace I could manage was about 73. 2 minutes of mostly stationary rest between intervals, which I normally wouldn't have liked but I was feeling pretty tired and being lazy was fairly appealing :)

Felt good to roll into the lab at 9 having already done my workout for the day.

The last Immunology Genetics and Pathology (IGP) department Innebandy session for the summer, so there was a good turnout, and that meant a lot of substitutes. I generally like to spend more time on the field, but my calves were stiff enough that I could appreciate the frequent breaks.

I scored a couple of times and didn't make any truly bad plays. My most valuable contribution still is running at the player with the ball and causing them to get flustered enough to make a bad pass.

My coworker Mimmi overheard the girls in the locker room afterwards chatting about how I was so fast :) that's a great kind of gossip to hear...

Man, we haven't been to gympa in a really long time. It was a nice session tonight, and not so crowded, I guess many of the students are stuck in the library or already home for the summer. I miss the old routine, though it hasn't really changed that much.
