Back to the colder weather for a 4×800. I stuck to the paved trails this morning to get better traction.\u00a0 Today’s rest was 15 seconds shorter than last week’s 800’s. I know it wasn’t really that, but more related to the fatigue of life and the fact that I woke up at 4:30am to get the workout in that I really started to feel it.\u00a0 The last two were really hard.\u00a0 The 3rd one was the hardest as it included the climb to Golden Valley Road – I actually had to stop for a few seconds to catch my breath.\u00a0 My stomach was also hurting by that point.\u00a0 After finishing my last 800, I ran past a group of Sheriff’s getting ready for a pre-dawn raid.<\/p>\n
Here are the splits:<\/p>\n
3:38<\/p>\n
3:44<\/p>\n
3:59 (I think auto-pause saved my time on this one)<\/p>\n
4:03<\/p>\n
