10 in the morning. SO nice out today... 69 with a breeze. Autumn is my favorite time of the year so any hints toward it get me ecstatic.
Another 5 progression. Another sub-6 last mile(felt easier than yesterday), and the run in total was a full 20 seconds faster on avg pace, 6:52. Not bad for a 7:50 first mile. Might switch up the training and do one workout, a long run, and like 4 of these weekly for a couple of weeks and see if my body feeds off it like my mentality does. It's so fun to do this after all these easy high mileage weeks, they're much more exciting than the usual running and really get the endorphins pumping but don't take much effort. Also probably not going to do the long run this week, I'm gonna start waking up right at 4AM since I'm gonna need to be up that early get 10 in before hospital shifts, and on days I don't work early(weekdays) go to the gym right after since they open at 5:30 to have it mostly to myself, besides a couple of gym nuts and early-bird old-timers.
