Aborted a phone meeting with school at 8:33 and drove to meet Sam at AU at 8:45. That didn't happen. With parking and traffic, I didn't get to the track until almost 8:55 and Sam had already done 3200 in sub 13. He had a plan, though to run the short speed on his way back to NPS to get his car. With two minutes of running under my belt, we ran the AU dorm hill hard and then jogged to Turtle Park. Second pick-up was the length of the park (on 44th?) and a turn down Vann Ness to 45th. (about 87 seconds) We jogged to Warren and did a long two block interval up to 43rd (with noticeable slanted earth in the second block and Sam dropping back.) WE jogged to his car and then I did 4 more pickups of 45 seconds with a 45 recovery in between each. That took me to the AU track where I ran one 300 in 56 seconds (45 seconds only got me to about 250m). I jogged about another mile around the track/campus and drove home looking for my speed which I must have left somewhere along the run. Alas, 45 year-old legs aren't as springy as they once were. (Smokin' Jim tells me he ran 4:57 at age 43!)
