A nice run tonight in very good weather. 6.5 miles after a much needed rest day yesterday. Felt a little more uptempo tonight, but I didnt fight it, if i feel good im gonna run fast. Splits:

1- 7:18.2

2- 7:23.5 (uphill, really pushed it)

3- 7:11.2 (21:53, 7:18 avg)

4- 7:04

5- 6:59.0

6- 7:03.9

last .5- 3:14.6 (6:29 pace)

TOTAL-- 46:14, 7:07 pace

Overall a great run. I negative split this run by a lot, which was nice. I really got in a zone after 3 and just hit the cruise. 5k this weekend, its the community race that coincides with the heartland nike nationals meet, so it will be fun to get on an xc course again.

5x1000 meter repeats today. Weather was nice and so I threw on the flats and absolutely flew. My splits were: 

1- 3:24.4

2- 3:21.4

3- 3:18.5

4- 3:21.5

5- 3:18.9

Total-- 16:38 or around 5:20-5:21 per mile.

Very good workout today, I was hoping to hit each 1000 between 3:20-3:30 and I exceeded that. 2:05-2:10 recovery between each. Oddly enough the added up time is exactly my PR for the 5k, pretty cool.

5 easy today. 37:00, 7:24 avg pace. Weather is still pretty good, especially for this time of year. High 50s and a little breezy and cloudy. Looking forward to my 5k this weekend.

4 easy today in 29:00, 7:15 pace. Thinking about a late spring marathon for my first. Mad-City on May 30th is the leading candidate right now.

I did not run well today at all. The race was awesome and the course was a lot of fun, but for some reason I just didn't run fast. Thats ok, cuz I had a blast running the Regional XC course, I think I am just past peak for the 5k. Prolly really need some time off and then to revamp. Will do that in later december. First mile was good--5:33, but the last two were both 6:05's with 36 seconds to close the final .1. Ran in my old xc spikes cuz I couldnt find my newer ones. Overall, a pretty disappointing time, but like I said, fun race for sure.
