It was hot after work and I was still a bit tired from Saturday so this didn't feel as easy as it should have. Oh well, got it done. 7:05 pace.

Out & back fartlek. Out in a very easy 38:40, back in 32:40. The way back was all fartlek at different paces and surges for various distances. I felt awesome on the way back and could have run it harder but I just reigned it back a little and enjoyed it.

4 x 1 mile repeats with 1/2 mile recoveries. 5:26, 5:25, 5:27, 5:14. The warmup went long because I was frantically searching for a restroom. Thank goodness for the Subway....

Up and over the golf course and back home on a windy morning. The same wind that helped on the way up blasted me in the face on the way back :). Pickups are hard in the wind lol. Beautiful day though. 6:48 pace total.
