Tue 5/17 - PM 55 minutes incl. 16x200

Splashing through the puddles on the MHS track, which is not an exaggeration. Got started later than I would like, struggling to get out the door and face the abysmal weather that has gone downhill since yesterday, gloomy cool overcast gave way to cold wind-driven rain showers. Caught a break during the warmup with the rain but it started in earnest as I started the workout. Sets of 200s defined by the revolving recovery, first 300m jog then 200 then 100. The splits were far from impressive, thanks to conditions, not wanting to aggravate the thigh/adductor, and also trying to keep it relaxed and under control. After starting out right around 39-40, eventually got down to low 37s by the end. It'll do. Left ankle stiff at first, by the middle of the workout hip flexors and hammie were twinging but not to an unmanageable degree. Rain picked up in intensity until near the end of the workout when mercifully it let up. Cooldown on the short side, looking to get out of the rain which was starting to pick up again.
