Today attempted to break 5:00 average for 5 miles down the canyon. Didn't go so well. Ended up with 25:35. Started out on pace - 7:29 at 1.5, but the heat got to me. Had 10:06 at two miles, and then struggled to stay afloat after that.

Repeated the 5x5:00 workout of Tuesday. This time things went better. We started earlier, to avoid the heat, and my father also decided to play rabbit. I started out at about the same pace for the first 1.5 (7.:27), but no heat bear jumped on me. My total time was 24:39, with the last mile in 4:52. This is a significant psychological barrier that just got broken. It is another step towards the OTQ in the marathon.
