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.
Tried the full tempo (6 + 2). Ended up with 29:48 for 6 miles, with pretty even pacing. Then jogged up two miles and did another 2 in 9:43. I felt more tired during the 6-mile tempo than on Saturday, but evidently had some juice left.
Today tried to do a 2x3 mile workout down the canyon. My SI joint started acting up again and I was barely able to eke out 3 miles in 15:30. after which I decided to cut the workout short. Total of 12 today.
