Workout: V02 max 8mi w/5 X 600 @ 5K pace, jog 90sec

I hit the TCW track again for this workout after we drove back from Greensburg, PA. Luckily it was 2:30pm and nearing maximium sunshine/heat intensity. Oy. Aside from the hot weather, the workout was pretty effective. For good measure I did 6 or 7 reps, I can't recall which.

As an aside, I believe I have dsicovered why the youth of America are out of shape. During my workout, a gym class made their way out to the track. Keep in mind, that gym class is normally for kids who cannot "opt out" due to participation in a seasonal sport. The class consisted of the students walking around the track once, stopping under a shady tree for some pointers from the instructor, and then walking around the track once more before heading inside.

Whew! I got tired just watching those kids!
