Track workout tonight! 

We are doing 12 x 200m with 200 rest.  This is a good example of the difference between a distance running speed workout and a sprinting workout.  These 200's are done at slightly faster than 1-mile pace.  A nice effort.

A sprint workout would have you do 200's at near an all out top-speed sprint.  For masters athletes (ie old people like me), you can barely do 4 or 5 of those all out 200's before you get diminishing returns and/or hurt yourself.  But dialing it back down to a distance runners' fast 200, then 12-16 reps = a good workout.

11.75K.  Nice run, some rain showers at the end.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.
