| 10AM: Part 1 of double. Workout is 10-12mi. w/ 5 mi. moderate and 5mi. MP -5to10sec. Ran over to fairgrounds/school track and did laps. About 35 degrees and sunny with a slight wind this morning.
Splits: Moderate -- 7:36, :05, :02, :07, 6:44, MP-5to10 -- 6:17, :18, :15, :19, :15, CD jog back home
11.18 total - 1:16:36
3PM: Part 2 of of double. Workout is 10-12 mi. w/ 6x1k LT w/ 3min. mod. jog between. Same course - ran over to school track and ran loops around fairgrounds and the track, It was about 45 and sunny - very nice! The moderate miles were okay, but the k's were tough - It was tough to get the legs moving after this morning's run (I think that was the point) 1k reps were supoosed to be in the 10k pace range:
3:43, 3:34, 3:37, 3:38, 3:38, 3:35 - looks like that's about a 5:36/mi. pace avg. Close enough I guess - they were pretty hard, but sustainable at a fairly level effort level.
10.4 mi. total - 1:12:36

| AM: 3.5 mile jog over to work carpool - about 30 minutes. Headed up to Purdue Campus with a carload of engineers for an annual conference - called Road School.
PM: 19.3 Long Run on Purdue's Campus about mid day - 60 degrees, sunny and windy. There was a ton of people on campus out and running on the awesome series of paved trails that go all over West Lafayette it seems like. I started in to the workout not really knowing where I would run 20ish miles (guess I shoulda go ahold of Jason Dodge! :) ) Workout was 3-4x4mi. @ MP. I had originally intended for this workout to be on Wednesday, allowing 2 days recovery after the double on Sunday, but took a look at the forecast and decided differently. Ended up with about a 2 mile WU and got in to 3x4mi. MP w/ 5-10min rec. jogs.
First rep I still didn't know where I was going and wound up on some muddy trail by the middle of mile 2 and had to turn around - 6:34, 7:03, 6:33, 6:37, jogged a half mile, and then rep 2 was much better - 6:26, 6:24, 6:27, 6:36. Jog a mile at about 8min. pace and then the last rep felt good and under control until that last couple miles in to the headwind - 6:17, 6:16, 6:24, 6:37. Pretty dead after that, and jogged back to the Union.
19.32 miles total - 2:15:07
End of the first 4-week block, with the last week spread out over 9 days.
