Crappy day, only enough time for a quick treadmill run. I decided to run a 10k and just see what kind of time I could get. Warmed up for 1 mile then 10k in 48:30, ~7:48 a mile. Finished with a quick cool down.

Rough day again. Early morning court and evening choir concert meant no running until late. I went with the treadmill again and decided I should push a 5k as fast as I could. I managed to run it in just under 23 minutes, roughly 7:24 per mile. 1 mile warmup and 1 mile cool down.

Farmington canyon, 4 up, 4 down. I managed 9:38 per mile with the last 3 miles all below 8:00 pace. I think the speed training on the TM is helping.
