4x800

Oops...I slightly misread what I was supposed to run today. I thought it was four 800s in 3:23 with a 1-minute rest interval (RI); it was actually supposed to be a 2-min RI. I don't know whether that would have helped me reach my goal time or not. Consistency was not my strong point today. I ran these outside--1-mile warm up around my complex, 0.5 miles on the straight stretch (with a few little hills both ways), walked to recover for each 1-min RI, and ran a 10-min cool down. It ended up being 4.25 miles in 38 minutes.

• First half: 3:34.93
  
• Second half: 3:31.13
  
• Third half: 3:25.35
  
• Fourth half: 3:33.57
• Variance: 9 seconds

I never made my goal; I guess I have a ways to go. I thought I pushed as hard as I could, but surely I can cut off between 2 and 11 seconds in a half-mile run, right?
