Same routine (almost)... Different day

I headed to the treadmill again last night for some running and the Brewers/ Phillies game but it wasn't for an easy run. I was scheduled for a speed workout of 4 x 800's. I wasn't quite sure what pace I was going to run them so I thought I would start at a higher pace and work down if needed. My speed work in the Summer had me at a 6:18 pace for my 400's. After a mile warmup, I set the pace at 6:40 (3:20 800's) and I was off. The first one always kills me but the pace was spot on. I didn't start feeling them until I was on my last 800. I completed the workout with a .75 mile cooldown and that gave me a total of 4.5 miles for the evening.

All-in-all this workout felt REALLY good.
