Today went pretty well, I know that I am going to be sore tomorrow but it was well worth it. I started off with some 200m's, I estimated I could run it in somewhere around 24 seconds (hopefully faster) so for 75% I tried to stay under 30s on the Dalplex track which is 260m and shaped like an Octagon. I feel like I probably should have started at 70% since it's the first time in a long time I have ran that distance--I was gasping afterwards. The first two felt like I held form pretty well  but it broke down on the last couple.
   Squats were pretty good too, it was the first time I have ever done a set really deep. I feel like they probably destroyed my legs but once the initial soreness wears off it will be worth it. I have a really good range of motion so I was able to get well down there. I used the pink parts of aerobic boxes to check my depth, for a parallel squat I usually use six but today for a deep squat I used four. The ones I use are like in the picture below (I don't use the green part) .
