THu 5/26 - PM 75 minutes incl. 12x400

Cruise pace quarters with short rest (100m jog). Hot, sticky and windy day. Not the greatest combo for running on the track, plus Tuesday's workout was more of a workout than I gave it credit for. As a result, feeling a bit flat and cut back from the originally planned 16 reps. Hit the first one in 81 and I knew that would be about it for pace. Dipped under 80 for a few of the middle reps, then the wind seemed to pick up to the point I was getting crushed on every backstretch. Times went back up to around 81 near the end. Last rep actually 500m to make it an even 15 laps. Left leg held up okay although QL muscle stiffened up some later on in the evening. Cooldown included the first post-run soak of the year, in the river as there was no way I was running all the way to the pond. As often seems to be the case the weather has gone suddenly and directly from high temps in the mid 50s to highs in the mid 80s. Ever-present wind of course, just a question of which direction it's coming from.
