Sun 11/30 - AM 65 minutes incl. 4x1600, 2x800

Longfellow loop. Originally this was to be 6x1600 or three loops around with the 400m recovery jogs included. Decided on the fly to scale back the session after the fourth rep, telling myself at the time that it was because I needed to wrap things up and got a late start. In truth I overbaked the second and third reps and needed an escape hatch. Still, a relatively solid session done in clunker shoes in somewhat windy conditions. Headwind on the way out, tailwind on the way back on each loop. 200m jog between the 800s. Splits:

5:48.4 (1:47.2)
5:39.5 (1:48.4)
5:39.2 (1:52.1) the one that really fried me, thought I was more under control
5:42.9 (1:50.7)
2:46.5 (1:04)
2:42.5

Warming up rapidly over the the course of the morning, with the aforementioned SW wind being a part of that. Right leg hanging in there surprisingly well. Had vague notions of doing a short shakeout run in the evening but decided on discretion instead.
