4xmile on the Urb at threshhold with 60s rests, followed by 4x30 s at mile pace on the Urb. 4 mile warmup, including drills and strides. Miles went 5:24, 5:29, 5:32, 5:27 for an average of 5:28. I started the first one off a little quick, but settled into the pace after that. 4 mile cooldown.

10x300m repeats on Sehome hill at roughly mile pace effort. I may have run a little too hard as I found this to be extremely difficult. Times ranged between 62-65 s with 2:30 recoveries. Had to make a pit stop after #8 that pushed 8-9 recovery to 5:00. Full core after.

5x1600m cruise intervals on the WWU track, finishing with 4x200m sprints. 1:00 200m jogs in between intervals. 5:21, 5:19, 5:21, 5:18, 5:18. I was planning to average 5:25, but this felt like cake so I didn't worry about it. Very pleasant surprise. 200m sprints in 34, 34, 33, 32. I felt like an old man on these. I felt like I was running 31s.
