Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
11.00	3.00	14.00

AM: 67F, 98%. 10 miles. I went to the track today...I think for the first time in 2015? Workout was 6 x 800, (400m rec). Goal going in was only 5k pace (2:52) since I wasn't sure where I'd be -- other than strides, I haven't run 5k pace since November. It went well though, probably owing to the ~1000 miles I've run in the past 3 months. I averaged 2:46 (2:51, 2:46, 2:47, 2:44, 2:48, 2:40). So probably closer to 3k pace which seems more appropriate for that workout. I definitely won't be hitting the track as much this summer, but it's good to know the mileage is keeping me in decent track/race shape.

AM2: 83F, 54% (HI 85F). 4 @ 7:57 AP. Nothing like a nice recovery run in racing flats.

Saucony A5 Red Miles: 14.00

Weight: 146.40

Man, that is some good stuff. Very fast, Joe.

Nothing says "June in Texas" like 800m reps on the track.

Those racing flats are probably what got you under 8:00 pace on the recovery run.

Thanks Tom - surprised to feel that good.

Jake - the Type A's get insulted unless you go at least sub-8.
