Sunday morning workout at and around the track.  Did 2.8 mile warmup down to the lake and back, then 5x block starts on the curve - going to do the 200 at final summer track meet on Thurs.  Followed the starts with 2x 300 at 54 and 50 seconds, and then 4 barefoot striders and two laps of the infield.

Decent little workout in the neighborhood this morning - mile warmup and then 6x two min on one min off, all at about 6:20 pace and walking the offs.  Probably time to bump these up to 8x or go back to jogging the offs, or both!

Nice thunderstorm cooled things off for an evening run on the trails and a few block starts on the curve at the track.  Tweaked the left quad a bit so bailed on the planned 300s - ah well.

Another nice afternoon thunderstorm left the evening massively humid but relatively "cool" for the final summer track meet.  The final meet is always a combo track meet/ice cream social and the director picks the events to be run based on public opinion.  I did not arrive in time to provide my opinion... no 200 meter race - bummer.  I also did not arrive in time for a proper warmup before the old guys lined up for the 100.  I jumped in anyway and threw down a terribly acceptable 13.43.  I chose not to run the 400 or mile, but instead ran my usual ravine trail 2 miler as a cooldown. 

Travis cruised a sub 5 mile doing it as a workout of sorts - decent effort first 800, then floated a 200 and gradually picked up during the final 600 for a strong finish.

I received a little bling for being the top scorer in the medium old guy age group, and Travis got a medal as well for being 2nd in the 15-19 group - even though he only raced two events - punk!
