Fri 5/30 - PM 55 minutes incl. 1600, 4x400

The two nights of toothache-induced insomnia came due today, too tired to finish the planned 1600, 8x400 workout. Very tired by the time afternoon rolled around, spent much of the warmup trying to emerge from post-nap lethargy. That being said, the 1600 was smooth and under control and despite the right hammie not feeling 100% I had it in my legs to run faster. Splits as follows:

4:59 (2:31, 2:28)
6R
71.4
69.6
69.4
69.6
typical 90 second recovieries between 400s

the plan was to start at 71 and get down to 66 or so by the end. I probably could have run 71s all the way through but it quickly became obvious that the extra effort to run 69-mid was taking more out of me than it ordinarily would, and the cumulative effect was such that even getting to 68 pace was a bridge too far. In fact the decision to end after 4 was made about 250m into the rep. Short barefoot cooldown on the grass. Right hammie and IT sore but responding to direct pressure and compressions up near the trochanter. Overcast, kind of humid but not that hot, some NE breeze but not overwhelming.
