WORKOUT: 20-MIN TEMPO, 4x3:00, 4x1:30

I met Ben, Dave, Jared, and Ken at Ken's office. We warmed up to Beus TH and then I ran my workout. 5 minutes rest between each phases of the workout and one to one rest in between the timed reps. I hit 5:07/mile on the tempo, 4:52/mile on the 3:00s, and 4:52/mile on the 1:30s. The route was rolling net downhill.
