Started this workout just as the sun went down- so I was very cold in my t-shirt and shorts. 

10 minute warmup @6:39/mi (ran part with Seth and Chris)

4x100m strides w/middle 20m at top speed

5x200m w/4 min rest:

  • 27.16
  • 27.24
  • 27.22
  • 27.38
  • 26.38 (put on spikes)

10 minute cool down @6:38/mi

I foolishly assumed that it would be warm enough for me to run in a t-shirt and short shorts because it was 49 degrees at 4:30 PM but the temp dropped by 10-15 degrees after sunset. I seriously just couldn't get my legs going because I was so stiff from the cold.
