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 8x400, targeting 66's. There ended up being a few 67's and high 66's - my legs were sore and I was feeling sluggish. Total of 12 miles (9 in the morning, 3 in the evening).
Attempted another 8x400 workout in the morning - was too sore to crack 70 second quarters, so called it off after a few intervals. Skipped the evening run to recover.
Did a two-mile tempo targeting 5:00 pace - ended up with 10:02 (4:57 and 5:05). The distance wasn't exact, as I was relying on mile markers on a trail.
