GOING THE DISTANCE

6am -  3 miles.

3pm -  Good workout today.  Four mile repeats, 85%.  I was shooting toward 5:28.  The first felt very easy, I got 5:30.  Second was a bit harder, 5:28.  Third one I just tried to imagine how I felt on my LT tempo and if I could handle that then I could handle this.  I took the lead the last lap (in my group) and got 5:22.  Last one I realy beared down and finished good, 5:17.  Pretty hard workout and my legs were really burning on the last one.  Through the whole thing I was singing the "Thank You Lady Liberty" song in my head and it really helped.  Warmed up a mile and a half and cooled down a mile and a half.  Lifted weights also.  7 miles total.

11:30am -  Had a good run today.  I attempted an LT tempo again but didn't quite get my goal which was 5:17 per mile.  I got 5:27.  I think I'm getting closer but I'm not quite there.  warmed up 2 miles before my tempo and did 2.75 miles during it.  Then cooled down to 6 miles for the day.
