Comments:
Jon had come to Petaluma for presents, along with Si and Lis, and he headed out with Leah, Anna, and me before dinner preparations. We took a mellow loop of the West Side and finished by coming up B Street. Upon passing the track, we decided to enter and it seemed like he was tempted to run some sprints. L and A didn't seem closed to the idea, so the next thing we knew, I proposed 5 fartlek pick ups around the track. I five laps, we did pick-ups of 200, 150, 300, 50, and 100. My right quad has been unhappy since going up and down the hill yesterday, and while the slow 2 miles loosened it up a lot, the sprints definitely made it much worse. It wasn't much of a workout, as I didn't try to stay with Jon and hadn't warmed up thoroughly. Mostly, I tempo-ed the pick ups, but I found some pleasure in doing them.
