What a day yesterday was!?! Seriously, I went Friday night to the movies and endured a terrible storm in GP and Arlington and all I could think was, "Please do not be raining so we can get the workout done in the morning..."
So, luckily, there was no rain in the morning and I made the drive out to SMU to meet up with Matt Daniels and some other guys for a track workout. On tap for me was 1x1000m + 1x600m w/ 5x300m cut downs.
The 1000m was supposed to be in the 2:34 range with the 600m in the 1:32 range. This was the first time I actually hit my goal! It was amazing and it was great to have someone to run the workout with.
Matt had 3x600m w/ 1 minute rest...therefore I could run part of their workout, and give him someone to push with.
Workout was as follows:
1x1000m in 2:34 -- splitting 1:30 for 600m, 2:02 for 800m, finishing in 32 for the last 200m.
1x600m in 1:32 -- splitting 1:00 for 400m, finishing in 32 for the last 200m.
Matt had a great workout as well running strong for his 3x600m.
It was a fun atmosphere and I'm glad I made the trip. I followed up the workout with brunch with one of my best friends from back home, the colonel, aaron alford. We had Einstein's and then exchanged birthday gifts!!! He got me a biography of F.Scott Fitzgerald!!!
I then ran another 4.5 miles in the afternoon before a night out on the town.

Wanted to congratulate LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers with their victory last night! It is sort of bittersweet...Chris Webber, my number 2 all time favorite player was eliminated, but I hate the Pistons!
Also wanted to recommend "The Perks of Being a Wallflower..." Great book!
