Dome workout #2

On Tuesday Dan and I did our second workout of the new year.  The track at the Hampshire Dome is pretty active, but mostly you just need to watch out for kids (and parents) who exit the soccer fields that the track encircles.  The schedule for this week had us doing 800/800/Mile/800/800 with very short rest (the 5 laps to the mile track makes for some very interesting and very uneven rest.  We decide to aim for 2:42-2:44 for the 800’s (the goal was 10k pace but we felt that was a bit slow) and 5:25-5:30 for the mile.  We were pretty much in the zone for the 800’s despite my knocking down a little girl during one of them.  I did the same during the mile as I saw the kid but she jumped in front of me at the last second.  I helped her up, asked her if she was okay, and sprinted down the straight to catch Dan.  I guess the adrenaline was pumping as with hit the mile in 5:15.  Dan said running on the track makes his neck sore because he has to actually look where he is going!  J
