AM Longish Run: 70 degrees and partly cloudy. Its not good when you already feel sluggish before you start.  I blame the half papa john's pizza, cheesesticks, chicken strips with chocolate chip cookies for dessert feast that I had last night :)

2 hr run w/ 8 mi. progressive: 7:00,7:00,6:57,6:47,6:35,6:37,6:33,6:23

3 mi. WU and 5 mi. easy after the progressive - back to the house with a sour stomach griping the whole way.  I feel sorry for anybody following me... :) 

16mi. total - 2:00

PM track workout - 70 degrees and sunny.  A couple kids decided to play basketball on the basketball goals the stupid school put around the home stretch of the track.  They only got in the way about 4 times.

Start at 5k pace and cut down to 90-95%: 

2x1mi. - 5:41, 5:35 // 2x0.75mi. - 4:11, 4:09 //

2x0.5mi. - 2:41, 2:39 // 2x0.25mi. - 70,72 // 2x0.125mi. - 30,29 

Feeling good today, even with the basketball game obstacle in lanes 1-4.

AM cross roads series race.  This field is a lot more competitive than the usual series races.  1st and second place were 15:3x.   Most of the usual field was there as well- with a special appearance by Mr. Nathan Frey!  :)  Good race today FREYGUY, and good MP miles afterward, as well. 

Off the start line, the usual group of about 10 go out and run about 5:30 mile 1 and then fade.  Slowly picked people off throughout the race and put in a nice little kick at the end to edge out an unknown guy for fourth - we were back and fourth for the last mile, and made it really fun...

5k Race - 5:42, 5:46, 5:49, 0:24.8 for 0.1 - 17:41

Usual WU w/ strides and CD, and then 3x1mi. at MP with Nathan - 6:49, 6:35, 6:32.  Awesome that we are targeting sub 3hrs for Marquette Marathon at the end of August!

PR for 5k + beat some people I don't usual beat + warm cinnamon rolls and coffee waiting for me at home = A good day! :)
