5 ez on the mill

Ran at the 200 meter loop at the park today.... Did a 1.25 warm up then did 800,1600,800,1600.. (2 minute jog after the 800s and 3 minute jog after the 1600-goal was to keep my recovery jogs somewhat fast) Splits were 2:57 (2 min jog at 8:05 pace) 6:19 (3 min at 7:45 pace) 2:57 (2 min at 8:05 pace) last 1600 was 6:09... I felt good today and was happy with this workout. (avg pace for this workout-not including warm up was 6:32) *I feel like it is a tougher workout for me to have less recovery time done at faster speeds.. 

Did somewhat of a 6 mile tempo run outside today... Did my usual 6.5 mile loop. (this one has some good hills, and it has been a long time since I have ran it) Anyway avg pace was 6:55.. I had some great splits on the downhills, but I realize I haven't been running outside very much lately and my uphill efforts are suffering... (It's crazy how differerent running on the treadmill is vs running outside...)

5 ez outside at 7:25 pace

Ran with a friend today... Did 10 on the 1/2 marathon course I am doing in two and a half weeks. Holy cow- this is going to be one hard course... 6.5 of the miles are in the desert/dirt with crazy hills...  (what did I get myself into?) Anyway-I figure I am doing this one for fun-it will be more for the challenge of doing it than for a good time-haha... Avg pace was 8:45-lol...
