6:15 am Got done with 1 of 2 conferences last night and have a day off today, so I got to sleep in, very nice. Last day at Stanford so I did my loop once for a total of 4 miles and then noticed that the track was open. I went to the track and just started running around. My watch malfunctioned so I didn't get any splits, I just ran 12 laps and a pretty good clip to get a feel for the track. There was some really young track girl that decided to use me as a pacer I guess, she got out in front of me and every time I started catching up to her she would surge ahead. I decided on my 12th lap I would pick it up and pass her but she stopped at 11. It was like I was in a race but didn't know how far I was running. Kind of funny but it was fun to have someone to keep my pace up. Rested for a few minutes and then did 2 x 400's just for fun. I did get those splits, 1 in 75 and 2 in 76. I went out way to fast on both more like 100 m pace and then kind of died for the last 200. I'm sure with practice I could get the times down. Off to San Mateo tonight, not sure if there are any good runs there. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
