Did another pickup in 15:08 on the same course I ran on Saturday - which is likely a little over 3 miles.

This was my best half marathon since the Monumental half back in November. In some ways it was better - the first two miles were around 5:00 pace, then my leg troubles started and I slowed down. However, instead of crashing to 5:50 or worse, I was able to hold around 5:20 pace even for the rest of the race. This is a positive step forward. I'm also very happy to be on the right side of 1:10!

Did 4x3K or so today. I went by the mile markers on the Sacawagea Heritage trail, but they were a little innacurate. I finally found a stretch that is flat enough to run both ways - which makes workouts so much easier. My times were 9:42, 9:32, 9:32, and 9:25. One direction is a little faster than the other, but not by much.

Tried 2x3 today - the first one was about 5:10 pace or so. I had to stop the second interval with a half mile to go due to my spasm. I started out at the same 5:10 pace, but things went south in the last mile.

My knees were hurting today, so I ran about half of the distance on grass and did not do a tempo. I think this is due to running too much on hills.

Tried 2x3, did the first one in 15:25, then the second one was 16:39 - I overheated halfway through and started going like 5:50 pace.
