After nearly a month

I have determined that, for the time being, this pubiary shall become a Rog. Or better, a WOMTog. But probably mostly a running log for a while. Because running is, actually, What Occupies My Time (do expect many "filling out job applications sucks! posts, also). And after these splits from the "healthy start" indoor track meet on Saturday, I'm feeling like that's a somewhat valid thing to put my time into. I even have a swift new running buddy.

200 - 38
400 - 40 (1:19)
600 - 42 (2:01)
800 - 43 (2:45)
1000 - 43 (3:28)
1200 - 43 (4:12)
1400 - 42 (4:54)
1600 - 34 (5:28)

That was a great race not just because I had no clue I was still capable of running at a (fairly) fast mile pace, but because it was such a smart and controlled race (yes, that is, barely, a negative split from the half to the 16) - I felt in control the whole race, knew how far I could let the leaders get ahead of me, knew when I had to take the lead. And somehow had a great sprint left for the final 150m (of course, I had absolutely nothing left for the 800 an hour or so later).
