Mile pace session. I had something of a breakthrough. The workout was 2x200m, 2x800m, 4x400m, 2x200m at mile pace with 2:1 recovery. I had the best weather of the season so far, sunny and 65 degrees with only a light breeze. The first 200s were uneventful, as I ran 33.5 and 33.0 and thought I was feeling slightly sluggish. I started the first 800 slightly worried, came thorugh the first 200 in 32.x and then reached 400 in 63.x. I was stunned. I haven't run a 63 all season, and I felt like I had slowed down. Anyway, I finished the rep in 2:09.5. I ran the next 800 pretty much the same, 63.x first lap and then 2:08.5. I decided to try to hit 63-64 on the rest of the 400s and see how it felt. Those went by in 63.7, 64.9, 63.4, and 64.5. Last 2 200s went 31.5 and 31.0. 

Reps: 33.5, 33.0, 2:09.5, 2:08.5, 63.7, 64.9, 63.4, 64.5, 31.5, 31.0.

AM - 6 miles easy. Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to be hectic for the next little while. I decided it would be best to split today into 2 runs.

PM - 4 easy.

4 mile tempo on the Urb. 20:51 total time (5:12, 5:13, 5:20 including 180 turn, 5:10). I felt pretty good, and this is in stark contrast to the same tempo I ran last Thursday. Funny how you can just have a day that is completely off.

Early track workout. 2x3200m (2:00 rests) @ tempo, 1x1600m (4:00 rest), 2x400m (2:00 rests). Reps were as follows: 10:31, 10:29, 4:45.2 (70, 72, 72, 71), 64.6, 64.6. I'm sore and tired from this week, but the workout was controlled and it felt good to cap things off with some quality work.
