Gazelle long run.  It was hot and humid, but I kept it steady and made it home in one piece.

3 Gazelles workouts in a row...I'm on a roll.  Warm up, drills then the dreaded 2400 meter test.  I knew this was going to be humbling, but I didn't know just how humbling.  I felt ok on the first 800 meter lap, but then started to fade badly.  The third lap was very tough.  I came home in 10:28....my slowest ever time by more than a minute.  Then it was on to the 200 meter relay.  Finally a job back to the gym to complete the days work.
