AM Total run time 56:56 Did some speed work today on the roads by my house. There's a big shoulder, and a primarily flat section for about 1.25 miles. So back & forth I went. Ran 1.10 warm-up, then 2 x 1-mile at half marathon pace with 2:30 rest (splits were 6:18 & 6:23). I felt a little worn down after the second split, which was most likely from my run yesterday, but I tried for 2 x .50 at 6:00 pace, but this was a bit too daunting a task, so I cut these short to .17 & .30 for each set. I think this was more mental than physical. I then was going to do 4 x .25 at 5:30 pace, but I knew this would be too fast, so I slowed these down to keep from total melt down (Splits were 89, 90, 87, 89 with 1:15 rest). I then ran 1.94 for my cool down.
