Intervals: Centennial Trail (6:12 AM)
It's been 5 weeks since my last speed workout, and I'm still dealing
with a cough so I knew I would be rusty.  Overall satisfied with the effort.
The track was closed, so I went to Plan B and made my way to my
running trail. with the workout cut short I'm glad to have at least fit
in 4 sets of intervals.  I'm not sure I could have done more than that.

Shutdown my trackworkout this morning from soreness in my right foot felt yesterday,
Didn't realize it was still an issue until I started my first interval.  Had I known
this I would have been more diligent about treating it yesterday.  If there's one thing
I've learned in the past when I've gotten hurt, is to switch gears from training to healing
mode immediately.  Lesson learned, don't slouch on recovery.
