Did the usual 20-mile long run with 3 fast at the end. I was able to do the first fast mile in 5:01, but then things started to go wrong (loss of balance/spasm). The next mile was 5:43, and I finished in 16:34.

Did 8x1 mile at the Pflugerville Soccer loop - alternating directions. The intervals were 5:18, 5:12, 4:57, 5:04, 4:53, 4:58, 4:59, and 4:51. The first two intervals I was waking up - hence the slower times. There was headwind and uphill on the even intervals - so I'm quite happy with the last one in 4:51. The rest was 600m.

Total of 12 miles.
