Hard workout in the wind running around streets in the neighborhoods.  4x0.5, 3x0.25, 3x0.13 @ 5k goal pace.  Headwind in 2 directions did't help, but, I did not do well in this workout.  struggled with 5:30 pace and was into 6 minute pace in the headwind.  7 miles total - 49:xx

Good training day:

3x2mi. HMP: Stuck in there around 6:00-6:05.  Did it all on the track at Central, so that's kinda cheating, but, hey, oh well.  

Afternoon walk with damfamily'

Evening run - loop around Grandview.  I really love this place.  Serious consideration going on for buying a house in this place... Arbor can suck it :)

Easy 7 in the morning: raining at the end and 50 degrees.  About an hour of running loops around the neighborhood, rocking the arm sleeves, headband, etc.   So - Kipchoge lost?? 

We got cable TV back just in time to watch a whole lot of football :)

Mileage volume has been pretty pathetic.  Running hard in track workouts, but, not really getting the base volume to back it up.

Wow - I am just not seeing any results from the specific training yet.  Maybe too soon. 

Friday Night 5k No. 3:  Went 5:39 mile 1, and then same struggle mode in mile 2 and 3: 6:00, 6:13, and then had to sprint to stay in front of 4th place.
