Inversion is finally gone so I got some stroller miles in, planning on a mile pace workout on Wednesday.

Afternoon- Easy stroller miles

Evening- 6x90 seconds at mile pace. I think this averaged out to just under 5:00 pace but it's impossible to tell, there was like a 30 second pace difference depending on which which direction I was running. Also ran a couple strides afterwards. I was pretty generous with the rest I gave myself since this is my first workout at this pace in a long time, and because it was freezing out and I didn't want to run into asthma issues- I'd estimate I averages about 2 minutes of rest.

Played some tennis earlier on and then did a 4x 1200, 400 workout with Jake with 1 minute rest after the 1200s and 4 mins rest after the 400s.

My times were

3:59, 73

4:06, 73

4:05, 77

2:42, 72

I did an 800 instead of a 1200 on the 4th set because I was blowing up on that 3rd 400m and I probably would have run like 4:20 for a 1200m.

2 hard workouts in a row, felt pretty good. Not an awful performance on this.
