Ran 8.1 miles @ 7:40 pace.  Watched my daughter's cross-country meet- she's dropped her 1.9 mile time from 19 min to 16:04 in the last 3 weeks.  Fun to watch!

Did a challenging workout today mixing in "speedwork" on the "Pie Hill" course.  Did 19x800 w/.25 jog between for a total of 14.5 miles in 1:49:49 (7:34 pace).  I counted the 800's as threshold pace- felt 10k-ish.  The last 2-3 weeks has been focussed on stretching out distance, so really felt the need to get some zip back in the legs.  Hope to get more consistent with the faster stuff over the next couple of weeks.

No time to run today, so went to the gym this evening.  Did 1-mile warm-up and then 3 x 2 miles @ 6:27 pace w/.25 jog between sets.  Finished with a 1.5 "cooldown" w/.25 @ 6:27 just to get in 10k total worth of 10k pace.
