Quality run tonight. Got out just feeling pretty normal and just snowballed it into a good run. The amazing part of this run was that I ran 34:14 for the first 5 miles and that was all pretty much downhill (as this trail follows the river). Then turning around and running against the river direction, so uphill for the last 5 miles on the out and back. I ran this uphill portion in 33:53, a 21 second negative split! Not super fast by any means, all within GMP, but pretty cool nonetheless because I usually positive split this route. 1:08:07 for the 10 miles, 6:49 avg pace, one more run in freiburg tomorrow then we leave for Prague for 1 day then must fly home early on the 25th back to the USA. Im gonna miss running here for sure...

7 very slow and painful miles. pretty much served as a shakeout run, also my last run here in freiburg. Kind of sad...o well, i'll carry this fitness back home and get some good races in!

8 today back in america, felt pretty sluggish and was pretty jet lagged, 56:36, 7:04.5 pace, most coming in the form of the final mile hill that I had forgotten about!

Got some speed going today. Did a mile warmup then dropped right into it, 2x1600 at very hard effort. did a mile cooldown easy between the 2 mile repeats, had a little tailwind that helped, but for the most part the efforts were true. mile splits were quite good:

1- 4:59.4

2- 4:56.5

Haven't hit mile repeats like that since college, definitely a positive sign going forward. Cooled down for 3 and change. All told, a great effort workout and a nice marker of my current fitness. Hoping for some fast races in May and June starting next weekend with a local 5k I won last year.

even paced recovery run today, my legs were pretty sore throughout though.7.6 in 54:28, 7:10 pace. Originally had a LR planned, but I had to move into my new apartment all morning/afternoon and was pretty tired.
