Diamond in the Rough...continued

You wouldn't associate a really nice athletic facility with Manor, TX would you?  I wouldn't.  Jim Gelb and I met at the Manor New Tech School track tonight for an informal workout.  The track surface is perfect.  Nice restrooms, no graffiti, no trash on the track, a gorgeous football field and plenty of local families participating in cheerleading and soccer practice and some walking and jogging on the track.  A nice wholesome environment.  Definately nicer than Austin High (I'm not touching the East side track!).

We ran 200-400-800-1600-800-400-200 with appropriate recovery between with a 2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down.  We did not do any drills - will next week.  I attempted to run at 6:30 mile pace - OK until the mile - Jim tried to pace me but my legs were screaming by 8oom.  I was about 40 sec slow.  Everything else was OK and we did finish up with a fast 200m.  It was a little hot - we went a 6:30 pm.  All in all, I feel a nice sense of fatigue.
