Lunch run from work.  I felt really good and went a little faster than my usual easy runs.  

I need to start doing 8-10 miles on Mondays.  I'm well rested from my Sunday off and I need another longish day.

1600m with 400m jog plus 4 x 400m with 200m jog:

5:55, 1:32, 1:28, 1:27, 1:22

Workout was a good one. I'm glad I was able to do some negative splits on the 400s after the faster than planned 1600m. And no knee pain.

I was initially planning on doing the Timp Trail Half at the end of this month but I don't want to stress my knee too much. I'm going to do some 5ks instead in the next couple of months.

5 mi tempo tonight.

6:52, 6:46, 6:47, 6:46, 6:44

I'm pleased with these times. I was trying to keep close to 6:50 but it felt fine just a touch faster.

Knee feels fine, but I think I pulled my left hip flexor a couple of days ago playing frisbee. It doesn't really bother me except if I quickly accelerate.
