Rough night last night with these allergies. So didnt get up early to run. Wore around a dust mask most the day. So I wouldn't keep sneezing. My poor nose.:( So when it came time to do my speed work I was just hoping to get the miles in. Headed to the club house to get it done. And it wasn't to bad once I warmed up after the first mile. Did my strides in the 2nd a few times and was starting to wonder. Goals were to run 2 miles warm-up 3 x 1 mile @ 6:11 with .25 RI and then 1 mile cool down. So hit the 9.7 and felt good after the first half and stayed relaxed till the end. 2nd came and went. 3rd was a bit tougher for the last .3. Yet was very happy that I was able to hit this work out for the first time in this training cycle. So its a big confidence builder and feeling good about my training. I wanted to hit 7 miles so with 1.35 left hit 7.5 (8:00) and just relaxed. Feeling good. Mile 1 9:00 Mile 2 8:10 Mile 3 6:11 .25 2:10 RI
Mile 4 6:11 .25 2:05 RI Mile 5 6:11 .15 1:30 RI
Mile 6-7 8:00
