I woke up at 4am for a tempo, but high winds forced me to change things around a bit. Instead of the usual back and forth on the levee, I ran upwind 3 miles, then did 3x1 mile with the wind, 1 mile against, and the final mile with. I expected to be hitting 5:20s with the wind, but I was really sluggish today. Early morning, perhaps? I don't know. I was being pushed hard from behind while running 11 mph, so I estimate the wind was at 25-30 mph.

5:37, 5:33, 5:35, 6:26, 5:35

Yes, 6:26 against the wind. I know if was blowing hard, but that was still weak.

Aye. Two steps forward, one step back.

AM - 4x200m, 6x400m, 4x200m @ mile pace. 1:1 jogging rests (200m/400m)

I love these workouts. I've missed them. I need to develop my mile speed a tad, and this workout highlighted that fact if I had any doubts. It has hard.

34, 34, 35, 33.8

68.5, 69.0, 68.7, 68.0, 67.8, 68.2

33.0, 33.2, 33.5, 32.8

It was a really nice, cool morning. The track was wet from last night's rain, but I arrived an hour earlier than last week, so I beat the HS hordes.

PM - 4 miles easy.
