Speed workout

6 x 1000 repeats w/ 2:00 standing rest at IWU track. 3:28, 3:27, 3:28, 3:31, 3:33, 3:31. AVG=3:29.6. Happy to have the average under 3:30. When I ran this workout on July 21, I averaged 3:32 and did just five of them.

It was hot today, mid 80s. Went in early evening. Did it with LRC. She needs to work on her pacing!!!

Mile warm up and mile+ cool down. 5.75 miles total.

Speed workout

1.2 mile warm up to the Bellaire track, 5 x 1000 repeats with 2:00 standing rest. Ran 3:32, 3:31, 3:32, 3:33, 3:32. 1.2 mile cool down home. 5.5 miles total.

Didn't really know how fast to expect. Was happy with consistency but added all up they don't make a very fast 5k. But, I guess it's ok considering 8-miler yesterday and race on Saturday. Temp was 79 at 4 pm when I went, but humidity was like 57% so it actually felt cooler than when I ran yesterday at Silver Lake.
