Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
2.99	3.94	6.93

86F. There was another race this morning - a 3.92-mile race (for the 392d farewell). I had to pull another night shift last night and did not remotely feel like racing but they were offering free t-shirts so of course I signed up. I took the lazy way out though and took it easy, doing a little progressive tempo run instead. So no race report this time...

1.4 mile warmup @ 9:03

3.94 mile tempo @ 7:30 AP (7:51, 7:35, 7:30, 7:02 pace for the last 0.94)

1.59 mile cooldown @ 8:58

Good week of running; my overall mileage took a small step back, but there was a lot of quality in there, and 5/6 were outside.

New Blue Asics Miles: 6.93

That's a sweet tempo in 86 degrees and the DAY AFTER a 5k race. Nicely done--hard to run like that on tired legs. I agree--you have had super quality this week so the cutback in mileage was probably a good thing!

Stellar week in Baghdad, good job, especially getting outside so much.
