A nice run on a nice evening.  It was rather windy, but a lot cooler than it's been recently.  

The track is on my 4 mile route, so I started the route and stopped after a bit less than 2 miles at the track.  I stretched well, concentrating mostly on working the kinks out of my lower back.  It feels a little better, but it still sore.  So are my hips, so I made sure to stretch my hip flexors and ITB better than I have been later.

Then I did 400 intervals for 3 miles (6x400 fast with another 400 after each effort).  I was shooting for 1:49 on each.  My times were 1:40, 1:49, 1:50, 1:48, 1:44, 1:45.  After I finished my 3 miles on the track I went the rest of my route home.  It is gearing up to storm, so it was getting windier towards the end of the run.  It felt good, even though it made me slower.

do you find you run better before or after work? or do you always run afterwork? Just curious...

I wonder if you are getting the storms we had this morning! Very loud!

Great run! Way to stay on pace with the intervals. I live very close to a track, but I've never had the guts to try it.
