Warmed up a couple miles with Kolten and Henry and then ran 8x400m at 5k pace with 90 seconds recovery. Felt like I could have done 20-30 or more of them, legs aren't quite recovered from Saturday but this was nice.

Splits were 77, 77, 77, 76, 76, 76, 75, 75. It's usually hard to find a good rhythm on 400s because they're so short but I actually split all of these super evenly at 37/38 per 200m.

Planning to finally get back into gear this weekend with 25 miles between Saturday and Sunday with a medium difficulty mp pace workout on Sunday. Jake was talking about doing a Michigan next Wednesday, that would be a fun final big workout before peach days.

Easy around the neighborhood. Felt pretty tired. I did some cadence running as well.

Afternoon run up to the golf course and back while my Dad biked. I did a mile in 6:10 at about 170 cadence and it felt nice and easy. I had been starving myself all day in hopes of attempting the dali crepes 3 foot crepe challenge but they stopped doing it. Last couple miles I was feeling the lack of fuel a bit.
