Mind over matter people!
I sent the Crackhead a text message "informing" him how cold it was going to be at the track tonight. Don't you people listen to The Weather Channel? This is an "Artic Blast"...
His response:
Just think. The competition won't have the dedication u have so u will crush them on race day.
Looks like I will be doing my track workout afterall~6 sub 4 minute Yasso's on tap....update with stats to follow.

***Update***
I got to the track and we did a leisurely warm up jogging around the complex. Moving onto some drills; high knees, kick butts, strides, and cross overs.
Light stretching and then onto the fun. Yasso 800's with 400 recovery. My schedule called for 6 this week with my goal pace being a 3:55 pace.
3:53

Smokes! I seriously don't know how I hit that last 800! I looked at the watch at the 400 mark on that last rep and it read 2:01. I dug deep and found a 1:42 400 on the back end of that workout. After thinking about it for a while I noticed that on that last 800, especially the last 400, I was really focused. I know that on some of the pervious 800's I was thinking about my day at work, what I was going to have for dinner...just sort of going through the motions. On that last 400 I was really just focusing 100% of my attention on running. "Relax and Move" (Thanks Sean) While doing this I was able to run hard focusing on the effort, know it wouldn't last forever. I feel like I have not fully tapped into my potential yet. Exciting things to come!
I am really starting to like speedwork!

Damnation! That is pretty darn consistent. I bow in your general direction
Maybe we can meet up and say hi at the Preservation run. I love Savannah, we were just there a week or so ago when my family was in town visiting from Arkansas.
Daaaaannnnggg. Nice splits there! Looks like that should get you nicely ready for a sub-2 time at some half marathon in the near future ;)
Well done!!! Yeah, focus brings the results and I love track work, too.
And going out there when the competition sits in the warm, really has it's rewards.
Awesome job!
Good job on your workouts...but I hate you for showing that tropical photo....grrrrr ~ LOL
This is awesome!! Do 6 more and you would have been in the 2:00's!! :)
Answering your question...yes, it came with a HRM. But neither of us likes the Garmin HRM since we are used to the Polar. They are way different.
With #'s like that CJ better get his training on.
