I met Tim, Ashley and Wendy for what I thought would be MP mile repeats. I was excited to hear about SG, but we really didn't chat much - that will be tomorrow during the easy run. We warmed up on the trail for 2 miles and then did 5 x 1 mile repeats. They were targeting 7:20 - 7:30 and I told them I was going to hang back and run MP....never happened and I ended up with the following: 7:45 felt better than I thought but faster than MP; 7:27 too fast, but still feeling okay; 7:32 legs were tired during this repeat and had to run under the viaducts and I always feel like I am going to trip; 7:29 back under the viaduct and trying to stay mentally strong; 7:28 hanging on and so glad it was the last one. Cool down for 2 miles that were slow and tired. Avg pace: 8:21
