The mad scientist had a doozy on the schedule today and I was kind of dreading it. But then a friend said something in a message this morning that changed my attitude so I attacked it. Workout was 10x 1200 with 600m recoveries. Consistency was the plan so I settled on a pace (5:25-5::30) and went for it. 2 mile warm up. Ran very consistent splits 4:04, :06, :03, :05, :05, :03, :04, :06, :03, :01. Recoveries were all at ~7:40 pace. Easy cool down. This was a good workout with the half next week and I finished feeling tired but not wiped out. Money in the bank today. 6:25 avg
