4800m of mile pace for the workout today. 4x200, 4x600, 2x400, 4x200. It was hot and muggy and my body isn't used to this weather yet, so I struggled just a bit. 

First 4x200 all in 32.5.

4x600 all in 1:36

2x400 in 64.2, 63.9

Final 4x200 all in 31.5

All in all a good session. We originally had 6x600 on the schedule, but the difficulty level was just a touch too high.

1x3200m @ tempo (2 min rest), 2x1600m @ 5k pace (~4:20 rest), 4x200m @ mile pace (1 min rest).

10:18 (5:04, 5:14 -- the first half felt really easy, but I wanted to really nail the 1600s, so I backed off the second half)

4:41, 4:42

32, 32, 31, 31

I was shocked at how easy the first 5:04 felt. I relaxed a little too much on the 5:14, but the overall result was right.

I'm very happy with how the 1600s felt. I decided this would be a good workout to try 14:40ish pace, and it felt fast but doable. I ran very even splits (#1 - 2:21, 2:20; #2 - 2:20, 2:22) and finished feeling like I had another in me, but glad I didn't have to do it.

6400m tempo, 5 min rest, 3200m tempo. I really despise running tempos on the track, but I had my reasons. My lower abdomen is in pain and I wanted the consistency of the track vs the rocks and rolls of the Urb. 

20:33 for the first 6400m. 5:06, 10:17 (5:09), 15:24 (5:07), 20:33 (5:09).

5 min rest.

10:26 for the 3200m. 5:13, 5:13. A little slower paced, I had a hard time getting going again. My groin was sore and the stomach issues again. I think I need to see someone. Both of those have been steadily getting worse for awhile now.
