Intervals, longer ones this time

Well, I'm about take a 5 day weekend during which I'll only be able to run (pool and bike will remain on campus) so I kind of wanted to do a non-running activity today (tomorrow, my last day before the vacation, I have plans to run with Stacie). I really wanted to swim but the pool's schedule conflicts with my students' final exam. I thought about biking but I was afraid of getting lost (what are the chances?!) and being late for the final. So, I decided to do an interval workout.

It was a 4 mile workout:
1 mile warm up
2 x 400 (with 200 yd cool down)
2 x 600 (with 200 yd cool down)
1 x 800 (with 400 yd cool down)
.5 mile cool down

So, the 600s and 800 were as hard as I remembered. I don't know how we did it in high school track. Now I'm enjoying my post work-out snack so I don't crash in an hour.
