Started out at 5:45 with Jenny, looped around the neighborhood and picked up Jamie along the way. We ran together for about 6 miles at a nice and comfortable pace. It was a little bit warmer out than it was yesterday but still pretty tolerable. After the 6 miles easy I did 5 X 1Km repeats with a goal of 6:07 pace or better for each one. Paces were: 6:09, 6:04, 6:06, 6:00, 6:11 The first one was on pace until the end when I almost ran into Jenny, accident avoided and I still almost made it. The next few felt pretty good. Usually I do well on the last one of any set of repeats, but today the last one was extra hard. A stressful week was catching up with me a little bit I think but, still I almost made it and the average for the repeats was a 6:05 pace. Cooled down with an easy run back to the house. I like the fact that I seem to get more miles when I'm doing some sort of speed work. Average pace: 8:09
