What a beautiful morning for a run. I was pretty slow starting, but by the end of the run I was feeling good. My left hip seems to be feeling ok, but still a little tender after the run. I saw a pelican today on the run, really cool!!! Running is truly an amazing way to see a lot of amazing things.

5 miles in the afternoon - I felt pretty good on these, a pretty easy run.

Scott - regarding your question about 400s. I do them with 200 meter rest. I found that 300 was too short of an interval, while 500 was too long. 300 does not generate enough pain, while 500 makes me slow down enough to where it does not hurt the right way either. I experimented with 100 meter recovery and for me it was too short - I would hold back on the interval, and not get the desired results.

However, I would not recommend this type of workout for everybody. You need to be very fit aerobically for it to be useful, and at the same time have a natural anaerobic deficiency. The time to do it is if you go out for a tempo, you are not glycogen-depleted, have gotten good sleep, and you are slowing down while your heart rate is dropping.
