Local 10k today, was a beautiful morning here in Colorado for the race, upper 60s, low 70s but cloudy and no wind/humidity, race went really well until I realized the course was laughably long - probably around 6.35 total. We finished with a lap around the track and my watch was at 6.21 miles with about half the track still to go. I went ahead and hit my stop button early. I looked at the map afterwards to see if the course was long or if my watch didn't track me again, and this time it definitely wasn't the watch's fault. It had an almost perfect track of the route I ran, so just a long course. Either way, my time (watch) was 36:39 for the 10k. My splits were fairly even, though I slowed down the 2nd half, which makes sense given the fact that I haven't had a tempo longer than 4 miles this cycle (only 6 weeks into it). Splits: 5:55, 5:47, 5:49, 5:54, 5:58, 5:55, 1:19, 5:54 avg pace. Really good effort for this early in the season, I know I've never had this good of race of this length just 1.5 months into a training cycle, 18:13ish for first 5k, then 18:26 2nd 5k. Didn't even really look at the official time because it was so long of course, but I was more about the effort and this was a good one. Only $25 entry fee, so its all good! 11.8 total today after a 3 mile cool down with warmup

super hilly run today here in Carlisle, 656 total feet of gain. not nearly as humid, dew point in the upper 50s made for a more pleasant run, though still in the 70s so plenty warm, 10.5 total in 7:14 avg pace, tried to run hard on the uphills to simulate an effort run, not a bad workout given the tiredness of my legs lately

great workout today, went to Chuze fitness with my wife, set up on one of the treadmills in the theater room, it was all dark and loud with the movie playing, so made for a nice atmosphere to run and tune out the pain, did 1.4 warmup then 5 mile tempo, goal of the tempo was to hold 5:48 pace for the race, at this altitude, that is like 5:38, so well under what pace I'll need to hold for the half marathon in november, need a 5:47 for that, so I figure if I can hold it here at altitude, I can do it back home, tempo was 5:51, 5:49, 5:50, 5:46, 5:42, 28:58 for the 5 miles, 5:48 avg pace, one of my better workouts! really nice to get that kind of speed and hold it steady, felt good through about 4 then the last mile as I ramped it up was a little tough, but I kept on it, 2.6 mile cool down, 9 miles total

failed attempt at speedwork today. I think my really strong tempo on Sunday still has my legs sapped. was going to do 1xmile, then 5x1000, then 1xmile, but ended up doing a mile (5:33), then a 1k (3:36), then two "false starts", .2 and .3 respectively of hard running then sudden stop, then one final attempt for at least a fast mile, but ended with .7 of a mile in 4:00, so 5:20ish pace at least, overall, about 2.85 of fast turnover, but nothing consistent, it was kind of a bummer, but I realized during the attempts that my legs are simply tired both from the mileage and from sunday, so I was okay turning this into more of a mileage day, 10.5 total, definite RD tomorrow

okay workout tonight, did some speed work, legs are just tired right now. 3x800, 2:41, 2:40, 2:40, with 2 min recovery, then 6x400, between 77-83 seconds, cut short though and stopped at this one, tried to get a few more 800s in, but they ended up being 4s, just mental block
