1600, 3200, 2x800; Treats!

Today's run was definitely a challenge. First, I was ditched by my running partner (she has good reason, though, and I'm glad she said she won't be able to make the Wednesday runs). Then I had to run the bold and completed the italics:

• 10–20-min warmup; 1.5 miles in 12:29.34
  
• 1600 @ 7:02 with 400 RI; 6:58.56 (4 sec fast)
  
• 3200 @ 14:24 with 800 RI; 4:05.42 RI 7:25.76 mi 1, 7:40.25 mi 2 (15:06.01 total; 37 sec slow, 7:17.32 RI
  
• 2×800 @ 3:23 with 400 RI; 3:33.87 (10 sec slow), 3:04.40 RI; 3:33.01 (10 sec slow), 3:48.27 RI
  
• 10-min cooldown
• 1 hour total
• Mileage total: 6.75
  

I'm happy with the first mile (4 sec fast) and satisfied with the 800s (I'm usually between 3:20 and 3:33, and this was a hilly section of road, not the track). I slowed down way too much on mile 2 of the 3200 and am not happy with that.

Instead of a cooldown, I finished the 5 on through 60 crate crunch that I didn't do yesterday, stretched, and stopped at UPS because I had a couple packages. I was expecting one, my new swimsuits, and was excited about them. Unfortunately, I have to return them, because I bought youth sizes instead of adult sizes.

My current suit is in the middle; as much as I like the others, there's no way I'll ever fit in them!

The other package was from CU as a thank you for doing the interview that I did. Good thing the mug says CU on it or I wouldn't have known what it was for! There was also coffee (which I dated and put in the freezer but will likely end up throwing away in a year), hot chocolate mix and a chocolate spoon, and chocolate covered caramels and cashews. All of these I opened while completing my 30-min bike ride on the trainer.
