Jenny and I met to hold each other accountable, which is good because I felt horrible the first mile.  Very dehydrated and tired.   The plan was for a 24 min temp run doing the following:

1 min on/off

2 min on/off

3 min on/off

3 min on/off

2 min on/off

1 min on/off

Stolen straight from Kara Goucher.   I have run different variations of this many times, but I usually do 1 min on/off for a mile, 2 min on/off for a mile and so on... This was not too bad and very efficient.   After I finished I turned around to find Jenny, ran her home and then ran home.   I have decided that until MCM in October, I am going to try to go home the "hard way" and up the steep hill for the last .3 to prepare myself.   I hate it, but hopefully by October it will be easy. 

3 miles of Tempo:  7:52, 8:01, 8:00 - not as fast as I would like, but there is quite a bit of recovery in miles 2 and 3. 

Avg Pace 8:42

Nike Air Pegasus 2012 Miles: 7.50
