Wed 5/21 - PM 75 minutes incl. 3x(1200,800)

Weather deteriorated just before the start of practice, with showers passing through. Led to my slipping on a muddy spot while warming up, thankfully avoided any major scrapes or muscle pulls. After the rains cleared out a pleasant evening the rest of the way with very little wind.

Splits as follows:

3:42.0 - 2:25.1
3:41.0 - 2:25.1
3:39.4 - 2:22.5

2.5R after each 1200, 3.5 after each 800. With the recovery structured as such, the pace on the 1200s stayed under control. Each repeat was done with negative splits, at least slightly. Legs not as spry as they felt yesterday, I was ruing this fact during the warmup but still able to complete the workout smooth and relaxed throughout. I'm thinking Sunday's effort may not have been wholly representative of my current fitness level. Calves a bit tight, esp. the left one. Cooldown barefoot on the grass, cold and wet but still soft and forgiving.
