I had an early morning meeting in Southern Indiana so I had to leave really early so had to run in the afternoon.  It was nice (62) but very windy.  I planned to do a little speedwork today.  The plan was for 1 mile, 3/4 mile, 1/2 mile, 1/4 mile at 6:00 pace with 1/4 mile recovery.  I didn't feel the best warming up.  I had some tightness in my left knee but that got better after a couple of miles.  However, my legs felt tired the whole way and didn't really feel better.  Here are the splits for the intervals:

1m - 5:58

3/4 - 4:29

1/2 - 2:59

1/4 - 1:28

1/2 - 2:56 (added this to make 3miles at 6:00 pace)

I had to push these because I didn't feel the best but was glad to get the workout in.  Did about a 1.5 m cooldown.

9m in 65:38 (7:18 avg)

Great splits Jim! Especially for having tired legs.
