Was hoping to go low 19 minutes, but the day was extremely windy and I had tired legs from lots of miles in training and blood donation last Monday. Took a risk by going out in 6:04 and leading the race, but the wind and hills killed me and I couldn't maintain. I have a 10K in three weeks to bounce back.

Progression on treadmill due to rain starting at 6.7 mph and final 4.5 miles at 7.6 mph. Legs still quite sore from race and knee extension nautilus machine.

Meant to do 6 x one mile with two-minute active recovery. Warm up of 2.5 miles out Strong Street and back. First mile at 6:27 felt tough but not terrible. Jog nearly .25 miles in two minutes. Second mile at 6:28 was pretty tough. Jog/walk for two minutes. Third mile at 6:32. Two minutes of walking. Fourth mile in 6:36. Two minutes walk and kicked off fifth mile. Struggled for 800 meters at 3:12. One minute walk. 800 meter interval with stomach trouble/bear attack at 3:16. Final two 800 meter intervals with one minute of walk break. Nice weather in mid 50s with a bit of wind (5-10 mph) and sunny. Mile was loop around Coed Drive and out Phelps to Park Street. Tough workout. Might have been able to finish 6 x one mile in 6:30s without the GI issues, but outdoor fitness seems to be a bit less than treadmill intervals, unsurprisingly.

52 minutes recovery jog on Park Street in cloudy, breezy and cool temps. Good to be outside.

Pretty day with temps in 50s and sunny. Ran up to bike path and followed new section to Pleasant Street in Northampton (about eight miles) and back. Tough on feet and some chafing, but finished with 8:12 pace overall.
