5.5 miles today in 39:13 or just faster than 7:08 per mile pace. Felt really easy and pedestrian, but I was still pretty sore. Will probably do a similar run tomorrow and just add an extra 2 miles.

Legs were still really sore today, especially behind my left knee and my left hip (top of IT band). Because this was the case, I took two major corrective actions. 1 being I slowed the pace (finished in 48:16 or around 7:25's, i tried to go even slower than that, but really couldnt). 2 being shortened up the mileage a little. I was gonna go 7.5-8. Another thing I may do if Im still struggling with soreness over the next few days is I may run the 5k this weekend instead of the 10 miler. We'll see.

Today was an absolutely amazing, breakthrough workout. I did 16x400 all within 77-79 seconds with 2 at 80. I had equal recovery between each 400, and totaled my time at the end which ended at 4 miles in 20:57 or 5:14 pace! Now granted I had breaks between each of those so its not like I ran a 20:57, but the principal here is that I maintained throughout and had a very uptempo workout. In fact, my times go faster throughout. The first "mile" was 5:18, then it went 5:15, 5:13 and 5:11 respectively. Thus, I pushed throughout the workout. I am definitely running the 5k this weekend instead of the 10 miler. Wanna see what I can get and hope that this workout is a good indicator of a great 5k this weekend, maybe even a PR!

4 easy today. Ran 29:25 which I think is the exact same time I ran for my "two day out pre race 4 mile run last week". I love pace and the crazy nuances of it. that averages to 7:21 per mile. Felt nice and easy and comfortable. Shooting for sub 17 this weekend.
