Did a good job of footstriking below my center of gravity; this run felt easy and smooth and fast. Very encouraging.

Mile training!

 I measured out a 100m/110yd stretch of road on a little-used Brooklyn street and ran 10x110yd, with a 110yd walk as my rest time.

 Times varied between 15 seconds and 18 seconds, as I had a hard time hitting my target of 19 seconds.

 Fun workout, though! A nice change from pure distance training.

1.5 mile run to Red Hook track

4x440yds @ 72", 76", 76", 77" (supposed to be at 80") with 220yds walking recovery

(Recovery walk took about 2'20")

1.5 mile run back from track to home.

This was a lot of fun, though I again had a hard time hitting pace exactly. I would glance at my watch at 220 and see 31", and have to slow down for the second furlong.

It was easily 100 degrees and blazingly sunny at the track.

5 miles easy on the West Side Highway path in Manhattan. Ran with a woman from my fiance's workplace who wanted to learn how to train to qualify for Boston Marathon.
