AM - 12.5 5xcemetery miles. Warmed up just over 4 around Dogtown and worked my way to the cemetery for mile repeats. I hadn't done anything repeat wise in over a month and hadn't done these miles in probably 2 years and it showed this morning. 1-5:42, felt like I was in tempo mode the whole way (probably because I was). A bit afraid to attack because I wanted to make it through the workout, but that is a bit over the top. 2 and 3-5:31, tried to attack a little more and push, but still never really got into it. 4 and 5-5:26, goal was to get these two below 5:30 at least. Worked a bit harder, but really throughout I never pushed it to the edge - which could be good, but wasn't good for times. I am not really stressing; I'll just try these maybe twice more before UVM and hopefully get a little stronger push in (although I don't remember exact times, it seems that before a good set would consist of low 5:20's and into the teens on this pretty tough mile.)
