90 degrees, short walk break after each of faster miles, which all  started off around 7:45 pace & got progressively faster through the mile.

Ran 1 mile to soccer fields - 6:57 pace.

Ran strides/sprints length of soccer field & walked end lines after hitting stop on watch.  Did 1 mile of fast running at 4:28 pace, while walking end lines for recovery.

Recovery jog home @ 9:15 pace.

I have retired from marathon racing, at least for now.  Over last 6 months I have been sidelined by knee injury, continue to battle with onset of plantar fasciitis, and dealt with other discomforts.  I run to be healthy, and being healthy is more important than how fast I can run a marathon.  I am registered for NYC in November & will enjoy it whatever pace I choose that day.

I am currently reading '14 minutes' by Alberto Salazar ... great read that I highly recommend!

Ran race with Alex, was hoping to pace him to a sub 28, but he started struggling around 2.5 miles ... he hung in there to finish with some encouragement.  At 14 & with arrival of summer, training has not been high on his list ... but I am sure he will be back racing 5ks with me competitively in the fall when cross country kicks back in.  We had a great time at the Braves/Orioles game in the evening ... race finished inside Turner Field which was fun ... pretty hilly course.  Avg. Pace: 6:46  Alex finished about 6 seconds behind me, I went into high gear entering stadium!  :)
