did the tri relay with my wife on the swim and my  buddy on the bike. I passed a ton of people on the run and it was fun to have targets to chase down. Definitely a blast. Going into the 10k i felt like I would just use it as a tempo and thats effectively what happened. Got a great workout in and had a nice fitness check as far as being able to hold 6's go. Splits:

1- 5:51.1 

2- 6:02.3

3- 6:01.1 (17:54, 5:58 pace)

4- 6:10.9

5- 6:16.9

6- 6:19.5 (18:45, 6:15 pace, +:51 second split)

last .25-- 1:22 (5:28 pace, not bad up a big hill)

TOTAL-- 38:04, 6:05 avg pace.
Overall, a good workout. you can see where fatigue began to play a role and that is a sign of what kind of shape im in, steady through about 4.

a nice 7 after work, weather was great, there is a hint of fall in the air. fighting sickness though as my head is full of sinus congestion and am generally out of lungs right now. I got 4 cross-section mile splits in the middle of the run, 6:53.2, 6:52.4, 6:56.6, 7:05.6. Overall, 7 miles in 49:34, 7:05 avg pace. 6x50 meter strides after

awesome workout tonight after work, weather was gorgeous, 72 with light winds and no humidity. i decided to do a mile off, mile on format, kind of an extended fartlek, at first i wasnt gonna stop and run the whole thing outright, but i did catch myself taking a 10-20 second break after some of the harder miles, otherwise this run was pretty much continuous. Splits:

1- 7:11.0

2- 5:37.1

3- 7:25.8

4- 5:31.4

5- 7:29.9

6- 5:36.9

7- 7:28.5

7.5-- 2:47.9 (5:35 pace)

last 1.5- 11:08

TOTAL-- 1:00:16, 6:42 pace

a country 6 today out on the gravel roads of nw iowa. definitely classifies as a hill workout, but that being said i felt great over the hills..plus i only got chased by 2 dogs. splits:

1-  7:10.8

2- 7:04.3

3- 6:59.0

4- 6:52.6

5- 7:17.6

6- 7:14.5

total- 42:38, 7:06 avg pace, the last 2 were pretty much all uphill miles, although it was rolling throughout. a good workout and the soft gravel helped cushion my tired legs.
