I ran an early morning workout with Andrea today at Liberty Park.  The plan was 3 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile at 6:20 pace, 6:10 pace, and 6:00 pace.  But, that was a conservative plan.  We warmed up 2 miles, and then started our workout.  Recovery between intervals was a half mile.   I ran the 3 mile in 18:15, the 2 mile in 11:51, and the mile in 5:45.   The three mile felt great.  My body really likes 6:00-6:10 pace.  It got difficult to break out of that pace.  On the mile I still went through the half in 6 minute pace, so I had to negative split to hit 5:45.  Maybe a little more speedwork is in order.   It was great having a strong partner to push me.  There's not many people that I run with that are faster than me.   I cooled down 3 miles to give myself 12 for the day.

Thank you thank you for doing the workout with me today! It made all the difference.

No way I'm faster than you - you need to have more confidence! You are strong right now, after a good taper you will be ready to crush it for the half!
