Well, all of my housemates and temporary housemates have abandoned me for the weekend, leaving me to be the last man left in the Gunson........ woah.

Anyways, today my workout was 3 mile warmup, 5x800 at R pace with 800m jog, and 3 mile cooldown. I did this at EL high school, because I didn't feel like figuring out an 800m loop. For my warmup, I got to the track and decided i wanted to do the workout in Spikes so I went back to Gunson, got my spikes, and took an extended route to make it 3 miles.

For the workout, my first two reps were kind of slow. My goal was 2:26, since that was technically my 800m R pace. I was 2:27 and 2:29 (RIP) for the first 2, but got down to 2:26, 2:26, and 2:21 (Also RIP) for the last. I decided to go a tad bit harder on the last one, just to even everything out lol.

Overall, the workout felt good. My legs are a bit tired and my cool down pace was ass (Also for reference, I cooled down 2 miles on the track and 1 mile home), but that doesn't really matter. Looks like I'm gonna get 60 miles for the 3rd week in a row. Still feeling pretty good, despite some tiredness, so bring on the miles!
