I didnt run a great race this morning. I dont think my warmup was very good because the first 400 of the race was very taxing for some reason. I ran a great 2nd mile again, so that is a positive I can take from this race. Still got an award for being top 10 out of 400-500. Need to keep working to get better.

13x400 today. Hit them all between 1:17-1:21. Total time of 17:09 or 5:16's per mile. Overall, a good workout, i felt pretty in shape towards the middle of them. Hopefully I can use that strength this weekend.

Won prize money today, 50 dollars for 2nd place. The trail race was very fun, but definitely longer than 3.1. My time wasnt really relevant since it wasn't an actual distance. Either way, I was happy with 2nd place and the money I did win.

Tempo today, 4 miles at 24:56 or 6:14 per mile. A tad slower than i was hoping, but still a good workout especially in the afternoon heat and humidity.

tonight was one of my best workouts ever. no warmup, just went out and ran first repeat mile in 5:31, jogged half mile, ran the next mile in 5:24, another half mile jog, then 5:32. then half mile jog, then 6:13 up hill mile to finish. 1 mile cooldown. All in all a great workout in the dark under the moon and stars. Ran out on the bike trail in the pitch black and i guess a little fear goes a long ways in making you run fast.

tonight turned into a makeshift 3 mile tempo, with mile stepdowns. first was 6:25, then 6:20, then 6:06 for a total of 18:51 for 3 miles, just about exactly as i hoped it would go. Felt good to run negative splits especially on tired legs and that was the goal.
