AM - Felt like a different runner today.

3 x 2 miles @ 5:20 w/ 2:00 rests was the idea. Temps were 61F w/ a 52F dew point. Once again I headed to City Park only to find the track closed for another event.

10:40 (5:20, 5:20)

10:33 (5:16, 5:17)

10:40 (5:20, 5:20)

There was a light (5 mph) headwind on the first and last segment, which I think is why #2 ended up faster. I hit the 5:16/5:17 and thought "I can hold this forever," but then the last segment was a lot more difficult. 

Best part: no pain or twinges in my knee. It still feels a little swollen, maybe, but I didn't anything wrong the entire run.

PM - 4 easy
