First Yassos

Today was the first round of Yasso 800s during this training phase. With the Garmin still out of commission they turned out to be 800ishs. I know the distances fairly well for my 6-mile standard route and tried to stay close, probably erring on the side of going longer than 800 on several of the intervals. The plan called to run those at a 7-minute pace, and I'd estimate I was between 7:30-8 on them. I certainly felt worn out by the fifth one and shuffled a little in my last recovery before easy running the rest of the way home. It rained all day until a break in the storm this afternoon, but it was still cloudy and very windy. That made things a little more interesting but overall I can't complain since the temperature helped facilitate a fast run.
