A high quality tempo run this morning. I tried to keep it down in the tempo zone, but I still got 5:52, 6:02, 6:01, 6:00 which is a near record on the flat course.

 

Lydia got 10:12 on the mile in the afternoon

After the 5k PR I figured it was time to up the intensity on the progressive (and it's been getting easier) so I bumped the entire series by .1 - now it starts at 9.2 and ends at 12.0 with a 13.4 last minute. Definitely harder :) But I got another .08 of a mile in the 30 minutes, so if I can bump it 10 more times I'll be at a 5:00 average. But even now the last 5k of the workout goes by in 16:18 so it's getting pretty zippy, even for the treadmill.

I should run with Toni more often.We push each other without meaning to. It was supposed to be an easy run with three fast miles coming down Provo canyon. The first mile was indeed easy, 7:52. But then we started going uphill and into the wind, so of course we sped it up.7:30, 7:24, 7:17, 7:12 - even the 8th mile up the bottom of South Fork (steep part) was 7:35. So now we were going to take it easy going down until the fast part. Whatever. Our first mile of 6:12 was the slow mile. Even on the flat we were at 6:11, then 5:55, then we figured we would just bomb it to the water fountain so two 5:46s and the last half at 5:20 did it. At that point we both laid down the law, "no faster than 8 for the rest of the run". So two 7:45s later we were back at the car. I'm nuked.
