It was cool this morning 24 but no wind so it didn't feel too bad. I ran out and back on 300S. Today the plan was to run 5 x 5:00 at around 5k pace. I started off with a about 20 minute warmup and didn't feel great kind of sluggish. At least for me it is hard to run fast early in the morning with it is cold like this. Anyway, I started the intervals and the first one was tough to get going but ran it around 6:10 pace. This was not as good as I was hoping for but it has been awhile since I have ran intervals so this is probably realistic of where I am at. The second one was better and I decided to maintain the 6:10 pace to be able to get all of them in. The third was ok but started to feel the effort toward the end of it. The forth was a tough one for me and I thought about ending there and just doing 4 for the day. After the recovery I decided to give it a go and had to really tough it out to hold the pace. It has been awhile since I have pushed myself like that and it felt good when I was finished to know I put in the extra effort. Overall it was a good workout and feel like I am starting to make some progress toward Boston. 1:5:54 (7:19 avg)
