5 miles on TM, including last one @ 6min pace + weights (legs).

Ran to the track with a couple of my girls, did 2 x 400 (82,78) and then ran a mile w/my 9-year-old in 7:30.  She was upset that it was too slow, so immediately wanted to run a second mile- it was getting dark, so I wouldn't let her.  Great to see her wanting more.  Did 5 miles total.

Ran the killer "Pie Hill" course near my house filled with hills.  Warmed up a mile and then did 800 x 10 @ just about 10k pace (or at least effort, several segments were uphill) with .25 miles between intervals.  Jogged another mile, then stopped to stretch before running 1.5 miles straight @ just under 6:25 pace (good portion downhill).  Jogged the remainer home for 12.75 miles total.  Felt completely thrashed!
