| AM - Well the good thing about racing is you find out exactly where you stand. I figured I was in shape for 4:50-4:55 but came in a few ticks slower. I wanted to get out fairly aggressively, and came through the 1st 400 in 70. I slowed a ton to 2:27 at 800 and more or less kept that pace to the finish.
I know I was nearly completely detrained before starting this block, plus whatever impact age is starting to have, but it's still a gut check to not even break 5. Ah well. Just gotta keep chipping away and see what kind of fitness I can get to. I keep reminding myself that after my daughter was born, it took nearly a year and half to go from 20 lbs overweight to a 34 min 10k to a 1:10 half.
PM - Rounded out the day with some hill sprints. 2x30s + 6x45s

| New shoes! Initial impressions on the Ride 18 are excellent. Might need to swap laces for something longer though. Have to cinch it down hard to get enough lace to tie.
Hill sprints/track day
2x30s + 4x45s hills
4x400m + 4x200 track
74, 73, 72, 71, 34, 34, 35, 33
I swear there's still some speed in these legs. I'm excited to see how these short reps progress over the next few months.

| 2x2mile cruise intervals.
Warmed up, 4x30s sprints, then 11:41/11:43 on 2:00 rest. Feeling pretty good. Right hip a bit tight afterwards but not a huge deal.

Puked after the second 2 mile. Never done that after a workout, and I didn't feel like I was working that hard, so it really caught me off guard.
On a positive note, I felt phenomenal. First 2 mile was cake. Second one I ratched up the pace a teeny bit on mile 2 (5:48-5:42) which confirmed my threshold pace is definitely in the high-5:40s at the moment. Threshold pace has progressed from 5:56 avg on 4x1mile a month ago where I was struggling to hang on to 5:48ish where I feel comfortable start to finish. My hope is to see it drop to ~5:30 by May.

Same as last week. 2x30s, 4x45s, 4x400m, 4x200m
Had a really hard time getting going. Felt sluggish, and my right hip was complaining some.
