Today was a pretty fun workout. Sean and Luis were there as usual. But this time we had a new guest, Sam Rodriguez. Technically Sam has known Sean and Luis longer than I have so I probably shouldn't be calling him a guest. Nevertheless it was good having him join in.
Today I had a major break through as far as fartleks are concerned. My previous best around the Memorial park loop was 16:21. I shattered that time with a 15:44. I really don't know what to make of the time. When I did the 16:21 and the 16:22 I ran the 15:46 5k last Saturday. My fartleks have always been 30-60 seconds slower than my 5k times. So I'm not sure if this still holds true or my body has just figured fartleks out. Either way I believe that this signals a big change in my body. I still had trouble maintaining a respectable recovery time, but the big difference was my fast times were a WHOLE lot faster than before.

Great workout bud! You won't catch me again with a 60-second handicap again. :)
Sam,
Don't worry. I'm going to try to convince Sean to lower the handicap :)
Bill
