Today's workout was a killer cuz it is getting much warmer out. 3 x mile and my goal was to be under 5:30s. Really trying to push my speedwork these next 2 weeks. My splits were: 1- 5:24.1 2- 5:29.2 3- 5:36.6 I took 3:05 and 3:04 rest between the reps. Overall, I am very happy with how I ran today with this workout. My next race is in 3 weeks and one of the nice things about this race is there is a $50 prize if you can break the course record, which is 17:16. I have gone well faster than this before obviously, but it's a matter of dialing my speed back in to that level because I haven't been there yet this year. Today's speedwork adds up (with the predicted last .1) to right around 17:16, so that is a great sign! Gonna keep working hard to make sure I can run sub 17:16...that is assuming I win the race in the first place! Gotta have high goals tho!
