Warmed up a couple miles and then did 2 x 6-4-2 mins with 2 min jog between each. Started at 5:35 pace and sped up throughout the workout, ending with the last 2 mins sub 4:50 pace. Averaged about 5:20 total.

Felt really good today. I think on a track 5k I'd be mid-low 16s right now. I'd like to run either the Dixie state or uvu 5k this spring before it gets hot. I'd like to run mid 15 minutes after a good winter of training. My lifetime PR goals are sub 15 5k, sub 70 half marathon, sub 2:30 marathon. That and winning Des news marathon and I would be 100% satisfied with my running accomplishments as I start to get older and slower in another 6-10 years. I think if I could run sub 2:30 at 5 Des news marathons there's a good chance I win at least once... that's a tall order and we'll see if I can get there.
