Misery Loves Company

It,s rare I get the chance to do a track workout w/ someone else but Neil and I have talked for a while now about hitting Franklin Field together so following our 1,500m race and cooldown run we hatched a plan to do 6x600m this evening.
It was another warm evening when I arrived at Franklin Field,being a new month I,ve now upped my stretches to 12 each,each month I,ll add another,July will be 13,August,14 and September will be 15.
Knocked out my mile warm up and mile of strides b4 launching into the repeats,3 weeks ago I opened w/ a 66 second 400m,last week was a 64 second 400m so it doesn,t take a rocket scientist to figure out today was a 62 second 400m,it remains to be seen if I go 60 seconds next Monday!!!
Knowing that last weeks opening 64/31 left me wanting very early on into my repeats I didn,t hammer the closing 200m opting for a sedate 34 seconds 1.36.63
Unlike last week when I went 64-1.15 for my first two 400s todays margin wasn,t as vast,67 seconds followed by another 34 second closing 200m to clock 1.41.77,this had shades of two weeks ago at Roxboro written all over it when I went 5/5 b4 crashing and burning on my 6th repeat.
A third sub 1.10 opening 400m this time a 69 second 400m b4 a 35 second 200m 1.44.05,although my closing 200s weren,t blazing last week I had 2x31 seconds and 3x33 seconds I was looking good for a potential 6x600m at sub 1.45.
1.10 for 400m #4,I knew a 35 second 200m would give me 1.45 and that,s what I got 1.45.63,granted my closing 200s were slower but not a 1.46,1.47,1.48,1.49, 600m in sight,roundabouts and swings peeps,roundabouts and swings.
1.13 for the 5th 400m,I was going to have to go some to get under the 1.50 mark,I notched a third consecutive 35 second 200m,1.48.93,so much for all 1.45s and under but in fairness I went into this evening looking at sub 1.50s,maybe it,s time to think about lowering my target time?
Last one, 1.11 at 400m,if you,ve got it to give give it now,all evening Neil had stuck close to me through the opening 400m which was the push I needed,I found my third 34 second 200m to close in 1.45.49 to complete a very satisfying workout,arguably my most consistant to date and judging from my reaction upon arriving home when I was happy to lay down and contemplate nixing dinner and showering in the morning in order to give the zzzzzs a right good seeing to now sooner than later,just like in my workouts I found a second wind,showered,fed and blogged.....now I can go to bed and dream of 1.45 600s.....sweet dreams.
