Big workout today. I did a 2 mile warmup to the end of the Planet walk then did 1.5 miles at tinman tempo pace (6:27 pace). Once at Logan track, I did 7x 1600m at LT pace (Daniels calculator puts that at 5:56) with 200m rest inbetween. I went:

I felt ok starting out. Paul showed up on my third repeat and as he passed me, I sped up a bit and that caused a faster time. The 5th and 6th were pure torture. I don't know how I can hold this pace for longer than a few miles. The 7th, Paul joined me and it helped a ton. I gave a kick the last 100m to finish strong. After a lap to recover, we ran me back home at 6:30 pace. I am dead, but feel good. Another workout in the bank.
