morning - 18.5 Fields. Made a big loop through the Fields from the DC. Hit 6x5 mins. with goal marathon pace as the projected speed and 2 min. recoveries. Drizzly they whole run and I was soaked as we finished up, but it was a good workout. First one stayed right with Logan and Clyde, so I just told myself to stay with Logan as long as I could. So the next 3 stayed right with him - Logan seemed pleased with the pace, so it must have been around 5:25 (I didn't Garmin because of the rain). Then the last two I picked it up a little more; Logan said around 5:00 for the 5th and 6th was maybe a little slower because of hills. But it was nice to feel good and strong for a workout. Had Al take the dog around as I was tired and had changed into dry clothes to drive home and didn't want to go back out into the rain. (Ohana racers 507.25) I was pretty pleased with the week. Mostly, I think, staying healthy and not having hip issues or calf issues is keeping me running well. Today's workout was a good one. Goals for next week: Going to hit 1000's on Monday, so I want those decent. And then have the legs back for a good workout at the Dogtown 1/2 (which may be too tough a course to really race hard on).
