A beautiful cool evening in Austin, TX. We ran at McNeil HS track. I did 2.5 miles warm-up and met a guy named Paul who had run a 2hr 42min and a 2hr 44min marathon 20 years ago when he was 20 years old. He quit running for 20 years and is now back into it. We did drills and then Donnie had us do 6 each 700M intervals with 100M recovery. Since we had run the adventure race yesterday I planned to take it kind of easy tonight, but instead Karen F took off on a nice sub 7 minute pace for most of the intervals and we just kept up. Had a great time. We turned Lemuel loose on the last 700M interval and he looked real good. Lemuel is tall and has a real smooth stride that looks so easy but he really runs fast. Then Karen and I did a mile cool down. A real nice evening to run. The legs could feel that this was quite a workout just 1 day after the race, but it is a good feeling.
