I had a solid workout at City Park that confirmed my fears that I've lost a little shape. The weather's cooled and I was finally able to go full speed in a workout. 5x1200m @ 5k pace with ~3:50 rests.

3:43, 3:42, 3:39, 3:41, 3:42

I would have liked to run a little faster, but like I say, the fitness has suffered with a few weeks of lower mileage. Happy with the workout, though. There's enough time to build on it.

Tempo day. I was scheduled for 3x2miles, but it turned into 2 mile/2x2mile/2 mile thanks to a bathroom break in the middle. Aside from having to take a little extra rest (goal was 1:00/mile rests), I'm pleased with the workout. It was warm and humid, but I hit the times I wanted.

10:37 (5:19, 5:18), 5:23, 5:19, 10:40 (5:18, 5:22).

I was pretty beat by the end.

12 easy. Erica rode along with me which made the run much more pleasant. I'm coming down with a cold so I skipped the workout.
