40/40

Today's workout was a 200 in 40 seconds followed by 40 seconds rest x 20. It went quite well. At the beginning the pace felt quite easy but as the workout progressed it got a bit tougher. But I stayed on pace the whole workout leaving at exactly 80 seconds every time. The last 10 minutes were run in a downpour with a thunder storm moving in quickly. I didn't want to re-schedule the workout so I was hoping I could finish it before the lightning got close and thankfully I did. I have been talking more to the track team members. They have decided that it is ok to talk to me. I have been running there for 6 years and this is the most interaction I have every had. It is kind of nice.

I talked to Dreux about a race schedule for this summer and we have decided to focus on track races. There are many all-comers meets in the Seattle area so it shouldn't be hard to find opportunities to race. Of course since they are not masters races I don' t think I will be very competitive but it hopefully will be fun.
