An Old Friend

Met up with an old friend today. The unseasonably warm weather got the old bones feeling young again so I went out to the Highland Park track to get a little work in.

Warm-up:

1/2 mile in 3:43
active stretching

Workout:
Tabata Run:

8 x 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off

Ran up on my toes for all 8.

Pick-up Sprints:

12 x 40 yard jog, 40 yard sprint

Cool-down:

1/2 mile in 3:35

It's amazing how an old nemesis can suddenly become comforting. In many ways I hate that damn track, but when I'm there I can almost forget 'real life' and the 'important stuff' for a little while. I love it for that - like some pathetic wannabe Stockholm Syndrome victim.
