Celebrated the new year by doing 5 fast uphill 800m intervals + 5 downhill intervals pacing my father and Jacob. On the uphill intervals I was able to average under 2:30 - the last one was 2:24 I think. The downhil intervals were slightly sub 3:00. Total of 16 miles today.

Did a total of 16 miles with 6 at tempo pace. The goal was 2x3 miles at 5:00-5:10 pace. I had a spasm and had to stop the first interval after two miles. The second interval was better - I was able to finish it. Then I added one more fast mile after some jogging.

Did a 1 mile pickup in 5:07. Ran at 6 AM and got up at 5:30 - this is the earliest I've gotten up to run in a while, as I could sleep in over the break :-).

Did strides with Noah instead of a pickup - I was pretty wiped out from the workout yesterday.

Did 7.5 km + 5km on the Pflugerville Soccer Loop. One loop is 2.5km. It was very windy - probably on the order of 20 mph. The 7.5 km was 25:28 (8:19, 8:27, 8:42). The second interval was a little faster - 16:33 (8:18, and 8:13). It may have helped that I changed directions - the first inteval I ran counter-clockwise, the second I ran clockwise. It seemed to be a little more favorable given the wind.

Total of 16 today. Noah did 2+1 (miles).

Tried to do a fast 5K - the first lap was good (7:42). Hit a spasm with 800m to go which tanked my time - ended up with 15:56. I was on track for around 15:30.

Total of 6 loops (15k) of volume - it ended up being broken into 1, then 3, then 2. There was some wind - I ended up getting 16:47 on the 2 laps and 25:40 or so for 3. The single lap was around 8:30 I think. I'm likely tired from the 5k attempts earlier this week.
