Today I ran with the cross country team. After a warm-up we ran 5x800 with 200 recovery plus some standing around (about 2:30 for the recovery). We took it out pretty slow, and got through the first repeat in 2:40. This was followed by a 2:32, 2:23 (short by about 10 seconds or so) 2:33, 2:27. I just stayed with the top guys on the team on all of them except the last, and on that one I was still trying to keep the distance close, so I wasn't going all out. We ran all of them on grass, with some winding trails mixed in on a few of them. After this I talked with some of the guys for a while before running approximately 8.75 miles home from the high school in 1:04:15. I guessed the mileage based on maps, and mileage markers that are on the road so I think I am pretty close.
