Nice morning today.  Temp 61, no wind but humidity starting to increase.  Today planned a track session with 4 x 200 then 6 x 400.  Started out with a two mile warmup and my legs were tired and felt sluggish.  Felt better after the warmup but not sharp.  Did the 200s in: 42, 42, 42, 41 which was right on plan.  Did a lap recovery between sets then did the 400s in 85, 86, 84, 85, 85, 85.  Most of these felt good but the last couple started feeling the effort more but didn't have to push too hard.  Nice workout after the long run yesterday and starting to fell stronger.

I'm trying to get it back. Let me know about Indy. I hope you get to run it. It would be good to get together this time. I am doing the Monumental Half the first of Nov. Not ready for a marathon yet.
