AM:  76F, 89%.  10 miles.  Hit the track for a set-the-bar-low workout at 5k effort.  I went with 6 x 800, 1 lap recovery.  Back in June, I averaged 2:46 for this one, but set the bar today at 3:00.  Ended up averaging 2:53 (2:57, 2:55, 2:54, 2:54, 2:51, 2:48).  Mediocre, but I think I'm on to something with the easy targets...you never fail!  Anyway, as crappy as running feels right now, plus cruddy conditions, I'll definitely take it.  We are getting a couple days of cool air soon and I'm thinking mile reps on Sunday.  If that goes poorly, THEN I can press the panic button, which usually includes some kind of drastic, overreacting changes to my training.

You're such a drama queen.

Nice progression. Certain times of the year you have to run them like this. And it feels pretty darn good to rip off a fast one at the end, doesn't it?
