really moved today, havent hit mile splits like today's in quite a while. Got out easy and decided I was going to throw down a hard mile ever other mile, i did this workout once before and hit pretty good splits, but today's were better. here were my real time splits as i ran continously:

1- 6:42.1

2- 5:18.3 (flat mile)

3- 6:44.4

4- 5:26.1 (flat mile with last 300-400 meters uphill) good finish

5- 7:35.7 huge uphill

6- 5:10.1 (huge downhill, just let it roll)

ran the rest with a bathroom stop after mile 7, averaged about 7:06s, last mile felt GI issues big time so i only ran about 3/4 of it.

overall, very nice speedwork, im happy with the consistency and the ease that i felt while carrying that pace.

kind of a weird nighttime run after a work trip to omaha. got out fast but fell apart quick, body just gave up on me. 6:35, 6:17, 6:24, 6:32, for the first 4, then just jogged home. not a great workout.

got out for a morning 10, a little crisp, but no wind made for a beautiful fall morning. 30 degrees at start, warming to 38 by the finish. thought about doing 12, but my IT band was very tight late in the run and it was becoming painful, so given that im within only 2 weeks of finishing my first marathon, i thought it wise to pull it in after 10. overall tho, not too bad of workout especially considering it was within an hour of waking up and i had morning legs. splits:

1- 7:12.5

2- 7:03.0

3- 7:07.7

4- 7:15.0

5- 7:30.6 uphill

6- 6:33.3 downhill

7- 7:15.8

8- 7:10.7

9- 7:09.9

10- 7:23.8 uphill

total-- 1:11:42, 7:10 avg pace
