I kinda like the track workouts. The training I've just started has a lot of it. My only problem is getting to the track, it's a little inconvenient. Sub 18-5K this time?

I don't think I'll be anywhere near sub 18. I have hardly done anything in the 4 weeks since ST George and haven't run any miles faster than MP in months until last Thursday. Sub 19 would be great right now. 6 min pace is feeling way to hard to maintain right now.
