tried some mile repeats tonight, and hit the first in 5:38, but on the second I stopped about half way, about 2:4X, decided to do 3 more half-miles instead, just was a little gassed, but after a 2.3 warmup and almost equal rest meant my last .5 repeat was almost 6.5 miles into the workout, so that was a positive of the run, did the other 3 800s in 2:53, 2:50, 2:49, 10.3 total as it started to rain

Local 5k today, broke out my new shoes - adidas sub-2's for the race, they felt amazing. Body felt pretty sluggish during the warmup, but once I got loose in about mile 2, I felt stronger. Ran the race with my brother who was up from Iowa, goal was to help pace him and work together to see what we could do. Splits were 5:47, 6:01, 5:40, :25 (i definitely kicked hard but prolly not this hard), 17:53 officially. Not a bad effort given that i'm a month into this training cycle. My brother just missed sub-18, but he ran well given the altitude and the fact he's only been up here for a few days, cooled down for 1.4 started to get a migraine :/ 7 miles total. Overall, happy with the effort and happy with my last mile. this is a competitive race and its nice to have a lot of people to run with

speedwork today, plan kept changing between mile repeats and 1000s. decided on mile repeats before starting, but the workout morphed into a mix of things, probably cuz of the heat 90+ then the wind started hitting from a thunderstorm. either way, it wa snice just to work on some speed. did a 1.4 mile warmup then did the following repeats:

1 mile = 5:28.2 

-- 4 min jog recovery

800 - 2:50ish

--3 min recovery

1000- 3:31.8

-- 2:10 recovery

1000 - 3:28.7 (5:39 pace)

-- 2:20 recovery

300 - 1:01, kind of a false start, stopped abruptly, meant to go 1k but just ran out of gas early

1:28 recovery

1000 - 3:34.5

2.75 cooldown

all told, I did 1600, 800, 3x1000 and a random 300 for about 5.6k so of speedwork, best part of the workout was the opening 5:28 mile, felt pretty strong, 9.5 total on the day in 6:41 avg
