AM: 74F, 89%. 7.5 mi total. I'd originally penciled in a 13 w/8 tempo for today, but Saturday's slogathon pretty much covered that. So I opted for a much shorter workout; one that Bam suggested awhile back to spur on some improvements: 8 x 200m @ 800m pace, 90 sec off. A 1-mile workout instead of 8 miles...much better.
Anyway, I targeted 35s and averaged 33.0 (32.5, 35.1, 33.4, 33.7, 33.5, 33.1, 33.2, 29.4). Obviously sprinted the last one; felt good though. Basically a session of hard 30-second strides; not really a workout, but not something I ever really do a lot either, so I think it'll be helpful.
PM: 5.5 on the TM. Feeling a little caffeinated and frisky for my TM run - 2 w/u, 1 mi @ 9.7, .25 mi easy, then 2 miles in ~12:00 (combination of increasing speeds).
