Painful fartlek

Weather: low 40s, clouds

Comments:
I'd planned to lead the most aggressive training group at today's practice on a fartlek run through AU Park and Spring Valley. I did, but I was even further back than I'd feared. Group: Daniel O-M, Luke C, Sophia A, Charlie B, Leo C. 6 pick-ups ranging from 30 seconds to probably about 2.5 minutes. Longest pick-up was up Tilden. Didn't matter whether we were flat, up hill, or down... I wasn't able to move quickly or fluidly. Every interval felt like a slog. Trailed behind Charlie for a final 7th interval from 42nd street up through the alley and all the way to the Ft. Reno fence line. Trying not to focus on the fact that Baar was already at the fence line before I topped the first hill. Calling it 6, but suspecting it was not quite there as the cooldowns were often pretty slow.
