Warmed up a mile and a half and then did a mile time trial. Well, 4 laps around the short track near my apartment. I did 4 laps in 4:49, according to my strava it was .95 miles at 5:07 pace.

I took a full recovery and half a mile of jogging before doing a second mile at goal 5k pace, it took me 4 laps and about a quarter of a 5th lap to getto a full mile. My goal was 5:40 and I hit it right on the nose so that went perfectly. Idk what it is but my throat was really irritated today. I probably just need to get on a good schedule with my asthma medication.

Pretty good workout today though. On the BYU track in 2 weeks with spikes and competition I think I have good odds at running sub 5:00. Sounds like Jake might back out of BYU though, in that case I might just focus on the SIOP 5k the week after that. I'd really like to run 17:30ish for that race. My goals for this spring/summer were originally sub 18 5k and sub 5 mile, but the 5k is at sea level so I'm feel like I'm in pretty good shape. I think I might be a little ahead of schedule! Suppose we'll see in a few weeks.
