6 x mile @ T pace w/ 1:00 rests + 2 x 30s fast. Perfect weather with 44°F and almost not wind. I'm still coughing a bit, but my runs have been feeling better and I figured I'm in good enough shape to try a workout.

I wanted to work on running more by feel, so I checked myself at halfway on the first rep and then didn't glance at the watch aside from the final split. That first rep felt a little hard (always does), but then I felt very much in control. Felt a little fatigue going into #5 and #6, but nothing beyond the fatigue I want this run to stimulate. Very happy with how it went.
I'm having some runner's knee post-Houston, so I pulled out the knee sleeve post-run. Will wear it most of the day, and maybe for a few easy runs until things feel better.
