Back on Track

I haven't done a track workout since last fall.  Dan suggested that if we both want to be ready for the 10k in 5 weeks we better get rolling.  I'm still hacking a bit from the pneumonia but mostly feeling okay so we hit the track today.

There were some heavy snow-showers as we headed to the track but by the end of our run the sun was shining.  We decided on 6x400 with 400 rest.  Dan has been doing a couple of road workouts a week but has only hit the track once so this would be a good opportunity for both of us to see where our fitness level is.

The workout went well with us alternating leading, Dan on 1,3, and 5 and me on 2, 4, and 6.  Now my goal is to stay healthy enough to hit the track once a week until the 10k (and the 6k) USATF championships.
