jogged to cadman plaza tonight, then did 400 meter sprint repeats. some industrious soul has marked out 400, 600 and 800 meters on the jogging loop, which makes it an okay place to do speed work. it's not a flat course, so there's a challenge that's not present on a traditional track. not sure what the surface is -- seems soft, but also left my lower back feeling out of sorts.
my times, with a ~90 second recovery jog between sprints:
1st: 1:36
2nd: 1:34
3rd: 1:42
4th: 1:39
i'd planned to do more, but my running partner (who was doing a basic run, not the 400s) and i were both feeling low on energy so we bagged it early in favor of dinner.
i'm accustomed to running negative splits, but i could definitely feel myself slowing down in the last two sprints. i haven't felt well this week, and i have three races next week and didn't want to overdo it (sunday 4 mile, thursday 5 mile turkey trot, saturday 5k).
