I wanted to get in some faster running to get my legs ready for a 5k on Saturday.  Ran up to the Viewmont High track to do some 400 meter repeats (3.5 miles).  When I got to the track I found that they are putting in a new football field and a small section of the track was covered with dirt for the tractors to drive over.  I considered doing the repeats anyway but decided that getting over the dirt track would be too much of a hassle.  Ended up running a 4 mile tempo run instead.

Got mentally lazy.  Disappointed with the consistent drop in pace.

Pushed the last half mile (HR up to 177).

 I am overall happy with the run but am a little disappointed with the 3rd mile.  Mentally, I just went into cruise control and wasn't pushing like I should have been.  Cooled down with 1.5 easy miles.

Total Time: 1:04:39 (7:11/mile)

Avg HR: 153 (165 during tempo miles)
