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.
Retried the target workout from Saturday (3x2 miles at 9:36). This time I was feeling good enough to do three intervals, but did not hit the target pace. I got 9:53, 10:10, and 9:50.
Did 3x2 miles. Got (9:53 (down), 11:14 (up), and 9:46 (down)). It was hot, but each interval was a negative split (4:59, 4:54), (5:38, 5:36), and (4:54, 4:52). Total of 18.
