Coming Full Circle

And no that's not an Iron Maiden song title!
On Thursday April 30th I came to Franklin Field for 10x200m repeats,it began what at times felt like a slippery slope,the whole 6pm closing issue,Delaware getting cancelled,the White Plains fiasco etc etc.....
Thursday May 28th,back to Franklin Field for 10x200m again....only this time I came straight from work which seems to be the way to combat the 6pm closing issue.
The plan was 10 200s w/ very little in the way of recovery,the target time was 32-33 seconds per 200m I went:
31.76-32.25-32.37-32.22-33.24-34.05-34.72-34.44-34.78-37.98.
Overall I'm pleased,granted after halfway my splits began to creep up as my recovery time got less and less but I hung in there even if my legs felt like linguini on that final 200m.
I have no clear cut idea what the rest of my week looks like,I have a rough idea,I do know tomorrow will be an easy 5 mile to get any residual crap out of my legs,a rest day Saturday since I've now ran 10 days in a row and then a return to repeats on Sunday,of course I could do repeats Sat and take Sunday off,we'll have to see.

Nothin' like linguini legs! You know my question: how much recovery?

Also, are you planning to attend the meet at West Chester Henderson?
