1 mile WU  10 pace by Angie front stiff TM (new), talk 10 min

0.3 warmup again  9:46 avg on second tm because i cooled off

2 mile tempo  started right in 7:41 pace (but tm takes like 20 secs to get there) then to 7:24 at about 0. 75 miles and 6:44 or last 0.1 to make  up for the long time to get to pace) so 15:11 (7:35 avg)

0.5 jog  9:31 avg right to this cool down

1 mile faster  (tm suddenly stopped 4 min in of 7:08 pace) had to put key back in and restart and did 0.53 miles (says 7:24 avg???  bc of that stupid 20 secs to pace issue, but really had it at 7:08 pace entire time and got to like 6:44 for a teeny bit) over kill bc didn't really remember exactly what min the key fell out.  Basically take out 20 secs and that 7:04 so that is more like it. 

0.25 jog  9:31 avg

0.5 mile faster   6:41 for this  I don't think I tried any faster  

1/2 mile cool down about 9:10 avg *9:22 to 8:41.
