13 miles today.  The most feared day of the week for me, speed day.

I did 5 miles of speed @ one mile repeats with a slow mile inbetween.

mile 1 @ 5:42

Mile 2 @ 5:39

mile 3 @ 5:36

Mile 4 @ 5:33

mile 5 @ 5:30

A good workout.  The last one I really had to tell myself I could do it.  I was ready to be done. 

In Answer to Ryans question about my training.  For some reason I can't respond to comments.

The plan was originally to do two workouts a day after I hit 10 miles.  I was planning on running 10 in the mornings and then eventually 5 in the afternoons four days a week 10 on Fridays and long runs on Saturdays.

I don't know now.  I ran 13 miles three days this week so far all in the morning and I'm feeling pretty good, so maybe I'll just get-er-done in the mornings and not worry about afternoon runs.

It seems it would be more time consuming to have to find time for two runs a day, change twice, shower twice, stretch twice, you know what I mean?

I'll stay as is for now unless the body starts getting tired.
