Tonight I mustered the courage to hit the track once more....after a few weeks of avoiding it.  The funny thing was that I came straight (to the track) from the optometrist....with dilated pupils.  My eyes felt the size of small plates, my vision was blurry, and I could barely read my watch.  Coupled with exhaustiion, it felt a little like trying to run while drunk.  Cheers!

Our workout this week:  4x1000 (500rest).  My times were 5:06, 5:11, 5:33, 5:20.  I want to believe I will run faster than this some day.  But sometimes it is just so hard to imagine.  

After the workout, I ran a little more (in the "unwind" direction) so I could write 5 miles in my training log.
