12 easy. Still racking up miles on the old Zealots. I'm surprised they still feel good -- the soles are wearing off, but the midsole seems to be holding up well.

Big workout. Experimenting with a different type of workout.

Continuos 9 miles with (2 MP + 1 T) x 3. I didn't quite hit the paces I think I should have, but the effort was pretty darn close. I may be getting sick. And the wind messed with me a little bit. Otherwise I needed to up the intensity just a touch, especially on the MP segments.

I need to look at the Garmin, but I believe my splits went like this (wind direction):

5:47 (tail)

5:44 (tail)

5:25 (neutral)

5:45 (neutral)

5:50 (head)

AM - Big workout. 6 mile warmup around City Park, then 4-3-2-1 (3:00, 3:00, 2:00 rests). Paces per 1600m.

22:14 (5:38, 5:33, 5:34, 5:29)

15:59 (5:20, 5:20, 5:19)

10:42 (5:21, 5:21)

5:18

This was a doozy. The opening 4 were supposed to be MP but I could not bring the pace down after that 5:33. Things got uncomfortable halfway into the 3-mile and remained that way to the end. 

PM - 4 recovery
