AM - 6 x 1k on the track between classes. I'm pretty stoked with how this workout went. It was controlled, I felt strong, and I finished feeling what I think is the "right" amount of tired. I wasn't straining at all, but it was a tough workout. I would have liked it to be a few seconds faster per rep, but my fitness is coming along.

w/ 2min rests:

3:04.5

3:03.0

3:02.5

3:01.5

(had to take a pit stop but managed to keep the rest to the targeted 2:00)

3:02.5 (not taking an active recovery made me feel sluggish at the start)

3:00.2

Average - 3:02.4

PM - 5 miles easy. Core and lots of icing. My right arch is a bit tender. Brooks discontinued my favorite shoes, so I'm trying out some different shoes and I'm having some aches and pains popping up.
