Speedwork no.5

5x800 with 400m rest. Had a bad cold but survived and had a pretty good run.

Lap 1 1:53
Lap 2 1:59 (I nearly missed the start as I was the only one to do the 400m rest lap)
Lap 3 1:51
Lap 4 1:46
Lap 5 1:41

this is the first time I have improved on every lap. I paced myself then picked it up more each time on the final straight.

Weekend activities - Sat am 43 mile bike ride; Sat pm volunteer at archaeological dig; Sun am resting; Sun pm 4 mile run.

This weekend - bike to Harper's Ferry on C & O Canal tow path (70 miles), stay 3 nights, rafting on Saturday, bike home on Monday. Fun!!

Hell yeah! That last one was awesome.

I've been to Harper's Ferry. Hiked through it on the Appalation Trail.
