Return to the track

Monday, I returned to track workouts for my first speedwork in half a year.  I don't know how I got by without them for so long; they are my favorite run of the week, and the workouts make me so much stronger - and faster.

It was good to see old friends there.  Some of them, people that you can miss for months and immediately relate to you when you return.  "How's the running been", "When's the next race", "Are you getting a burrito after the workout".  Seemingly shallow questions, but this is what we do, and it is important to us.  So there is meaning and interest there.
