Am: 5 miles during lunch.
PM: ran at the base track. I dont know why I dont do this more. Dont need to worry about getting kicked off, or school practice. Just groups of older people block lanes with poor track etiquette. Track is got a 1/2 mile loop, 3/4 mile, and 1 mile loop. The mile loop you gotta cross the road, and the track is only 4 lanes. So it can get a little crowded, sort of rough surface but not that bad. Anyways with a slight 10-12 mph N/E wind I could manipulate my mile so I only really had 400-600ms with the head wind. Rest with a tail, which could be the forecase for sunday at 3M (fingers crossed). Course runs mostly N-S, on a point to point course. With the downhill and potential tailwind it could set up for a fast one. Anywho 2 mile W/U with strides and leg swings. Then 5x 1 mile @ 4:53, 4:50, 4:53, 4:56 (ran around a crew), 4:49. 400m (2min) rest imbetween. Then a 1200m at MP @ 5:20, just to get that MP feel which felt great. 1 mile cool down to jump in the car for the long/traffic filled ride home. Overall pleased with my leg turnover today. Need more sleep, but body is feeling light, and legs have some pop. Happy with the mileage for the week. Starting a mini taper tomorrow on to sunday, with light speed work on friday.
