Speed today. Mile warmup and mile speed changes. Then another lap. Workout was 2000, 1600, 1200, 800, 800. I was supposed to hit 6:10 pace so 7:42, 6:10, 4:38, 3:05. I hit 7:35, 6:06, 4:31, 2:55, 2:41. I like speed on a track because I can make sure I'm on pace each lap. My breathing was awesome, felt very relaxed. Almost felt like tempo not speed. But it was at a slower pace because we are supposed to be 5k race pace, so I was holding back a bit. Paced with Dallas so that was nice! When we break it down like that it seems like racing at that pace should be easier. Sort of boosted my confidence a bit, I lost some after State but I know I am better than what I did at State. And this time I actually didn't feel super worn out towards the end. Sure as the lactic built up it made it a little harder but I felt like I could go faster. Then Toph challenged me the last 800 to try to beat him. I accepted. Was ahead with 100 left but didn't kick and he did so he beat me. Was fun though and it made me work. Did 2.25 cool down.
