65F, 85%.  Took advantage of the cold front today.  8 mile warmup, then hit the track for some CV work: 8 x 800, 200m active rec.  Average rep was 2:54.0 (2:57, 2:56, 2:58, 2:57, 2:55, 2:50, 2:52, 2:47).  Average recovery was ~65 sec.  Then a 2 mi cooldown to hit 15.

Pretty good!  Held back a lot in the first 4 reps; I've never run this workout this fast, and I've done it a lot.  I'm glad I decided not to sit around and get fat again this summer.  Should be a very fun season.

You've definitely put in the work this summer. Model consistency (both in terms of good looking training and good looking in general).

dashing good looks is only a small part of my success...

Nice workout Joe. Should be a fun fall for you!
