New Year Intervals

Today I started my 2017 training by hitting the track. I hope to do this every week or two until March - and try and work on my speed.  I did: 200, 400, 800, 1600, 400 and 200.  It is a variation on the other ladder I do; where I skipped two 600s and used a 1600 instead.  I did the 1600 in about 6:30 and I managed a 6:46 average pace for the 2.25 miles.  Not shabby - considering I haven't ran intervals in a few months.  I was motivated enough to buy two pairs of shoes.  I got another pair of constant ones - since I don't like the twos.  I also got a pair of mizuno racing flats - since i've never tried those.
