Last night, Kathleen and I took the short drive down Katy Freeway to the Heights for the weekly Thursday evening track workout. For once, I had some bounce in my step and for the first four intervals (2 X 200M followed by 2 X 400M) I stayed with the 'fast' group. Always encouraging! Lagged behind a bit over the last couple of 200M repeats, but only because my recovery was a bit slower. I still need to check the Garmin but the 200M repeats were around 41 to 44 seconds, the 400M's about 1:30. Now if only I could string 4 of those together we'd be looking at a sub-6 minute mile! Dream on.
It was a fun workout though and so was the usual vegan BBQ sandwich at Field of Greens after. Earlier in the day I had put together a red bean and corn salad (recipe from 1000 Vegan Recipes) which we will enjoy over the weekend. There was an interesting looking recipe for a chickpea stew with tamarind which I might tackle later. And perhaps a carrot puree with some fresh herbs and a dash of soy creamer.

LOVE LOVE LOVE FIELD OF GREENS!
its MAYBE 1/2 m from my house!
do you run with a specific group for long runs? who?
Field of Greens is terrific! I am stuck on the vegan BB sandwich - and of course their fries are out of this world. I'm a Strider so we do most of our 'long' runs (haven't gone further than 12 lately) at Terry Hershey; will try running with a few inside the loop Striders tomorrow from Memorial Park. It's gonna be hot!
Is that a beer behind your bean and corn salad?
Yes it is... Belgian as I recall.
