Today was a good day. I ran a total of 12.25 miles. Ran a 20 minute tempo on a 1K loop on the grass at BYU fields. Goal was to get faster each lap and not go any faster than what felt like 10K pace at most. We ended up covering 3.25 miles or just over 5 laps in the 20 minutes. Our 1K splits were 4:00, 3:55, 3:50, 3:49, 3:42 with a 5K split of 19:16. I was very happy with this on the wet grass with multiple turns. 1/2 mile splits from garmin were: 3:16, 3:09, 3:07, 3:04, 3:03, 2:57 and then the last 1/4 in 1:23. Overall a good day. Even ran 1K afterwards in barefeet and it felt great. The rest was all easy running.

I would not say racing shape as far as marathon type racing but I figure I could run a sub 18:00 5K on a good day, so getting back slowly but surely.
