Weather: 50's; Partly Cloudy

Comments:
Met up with Siff and jogged to AU, running into Shiv and Ethan Wolin, who had just run their 400s. We did full warmups before striders and spotting Adam Leff, who was just getting started. We set out to do 12x400m at PR mile pace with cooldown time equal to pickup time. So, without much further adieu, we got to work. The first splits were consistently getting faster but I settled at around 73 for the first 6. I was relieved to have a full 400m cool down in the middle. The first bit of the second half was a breeze but at around reps 9 or 10, I hit a bit of a wall, but managed to push through to close the last 2 reps at a good clip. Initially, I was obsessing over the times every 100m, but I decided on the last reps to just run for feel and that awarded me more focus in the moment. After my last 400m, Siff and I cooled down for 200m before closing the hard effort stuff with a 200m at hard effort. We sauntered to grab our things and then jogged home. Today was a tough one but having company made it much more enjoyable and in the end worth-while. Looking forward to another week of training and slowly building up mileage.
