Scheduled day off. Well, I'd actually planned it for next week, but I've done 5 consecutive weeks of increasing mileage without a day off and figured I could use it. Still can't help that guilty feeling of skipping a day.

4 x mile @ threshold, 1:10 rests; 2x35s sprints. I had a mild wind (~10 mph), but the levee is completely exposed so it impacted the workout to some extent.

79 F air, 77F dew point. I felt pretty terrible throughout the workout and into each rep, so I'm pleased with the outcome.

AM - 4 x 200m, 6 x 400m, 4 x 200m @ mile pace (1:10, 2:20 rests respectively). I had the breakthrough today that I've been looking for. The weather was more favorable (high 70s w/ 73 F dew point) and I switched to an old pair of Matumbos that don't hold water quite to the same degree as the Eldorets. 

32.7, 33.2, 32.8, 33.1

66.9, 67.4, 67.9, 66.2, 65.9, 66.1

33.8, 32.8, 32.9, 32.9

Last week avg pace: 68.8

This week avg pace: 66.5

Tough workout, but I felt good throughout.

PM - 4 easy w/ Rylie
