4x 0.5 mile-2:42, 2:38, 2:27, 2:33 with 2:30 jogs in between then 1 mile in 5:23 then one .5 mile in 2:34.  Some of these were uphill, some down.

4 CD

Coach told me I was going to fast after that 2:27 so I eased up a bit.  The rest felt too easy but now I am tired and sore so he probably knows best in this case.  I get a little too excited sometimes.

Today was HOT...88 degrees at run time...it really took it out of me. Started a bit fast. Was planning on going 8K but stopped at 4 miles. I was cooked.  Note that those splits are 1600s since this was on a track.  Really did not feel strong.  I've been doing the miles but my specific endurance fitness is really lacking. Distance running results take a lot of time to come to fruition....probably didn't help that I was out for four months and in a boot for two...it's actually pretty amazing I'm running at the level I am now and for that I'm happy at least. Doing a low key 5K next week as a fitness test. keep on truckin.
