Wed 4/27 - PM 70 minutes incl. 8x600

With the leg still not quite all there (as if it ever will be) I was feeling somewhat apprehensive about what I'd be able to accomplish on the track. Intentionally chose a very modest workout in terms both length and intensity. Looking to cruise the first 400 of each rep at a tempo-ish pace then pick it up the last 200. Recovery a 200 jog. Successful in this regard, although the gusty crosswind made it harder to keep a rhythm and the times were far from impressive overall. Also cut back from an original plan to do two sets of five reps in favor of doing eight straight through. This was mainly due to the left hip getting stiff. Splits:

2:01.5
1:59.4
1:57.5
1:57.5
1:59.2
1:59.6
1:59.9
1:58.8

as can be seen from the numbers, water found its own level after the fourth rep. Working harder the final rep than I was on the third and fourth. Hit the 400 mark in 81-3 each time. Recoveries all under a minute, 53-58 seconds to be exact.
