PM - treadmill long run with fast finish - or a reasonable facsimile thereto.  Good effort.  Last 3 miles were at 7:30 pace - manageable but I did not feel like going any faster and wanted to end the run.

AM - 5k with Finn in a light drizzle before work.   He needed some exercise and I needed a shakeout run. 

PM - Treadmill workout at lunchtime - 3 x 2 miles at HM pace with a 3 min rest.  1.25 mile warm up and a short cool down.  Target was to be at or near lactate threshold heartrate.  First rep was around 6:44 pace, second rep was 6:40 pace and the third was 6:44 again- but felt the lactate start to come in on the last part of the last rep and looking at my HR after the workout was finished, it correlates.   I had to concentrate a lot on the second half of this one; this was a hard workout but I feel good about it.
