CD 1mile indoor, back to Phi Tau.

I wanted to run the 500's in :80 because that's the given workout was, but after the fact I realized that :80 500m is probably my 1200 pace of 3:12. Anyways, those first 2 500s left my legs torched for the tempo 800s. I was shooting for just sub 2:40 because 5:20 is tempo pace, but I fell into a low 2:30s rhythm. It was a painful rhythm because of the 500s, but nonetheless it was a rhythm. Then I just shot for 450meters for the last 2*:80. I jogged a 400m during the two 4:00rest but otherwise I took passive rests. Barnes was at the indoor track with Hannah and Madison.

Like yesterday, I just gritted my teeth and gutted it out.
