Personal:
I have five brothers and five sisters,
all younger. I'm currently a PhD Student in the CSEM (computational science) program at UT Austin. Married, no kids (yet). I've been dealing with some issues in running the last few years, and am trying to get back into top shape.
Today did 8x1 mile. One direction had significant headwind + a mild uphill. Ended up averaging about 5:15 into the wind and 4:56 the other way. My last interval was 4:47.
Did a 10K tempo today in 33:42 - 8:29, 8:34, 8:26 and 8:13. This is the best tempo on the soccer loop course I've had for a while - normally after three laps I have a spasm.
