| 44F. 7:04 AP. Beautiful running weather this morning - I did an 8+8 today (8 easy, last 8 @ MP) on the creek trail which is nice and flat. I knew after the first MP mile that it was going to be a good run. I decided to hold myself to 6:40's the first 5 miles, then told myself I could let it fly after that.
Last 8 - 6:34 AP (6:44, 6:42, 6:41, 6:41, 6:40, 6:31, 6:24, 6:08).
Pretty much just toying with the 6:40 guy until I gave myself permission to drop him. Anyway, after a so-so result on the 5k yesterday, which I definitely ran 100% all-out, I don't want to read too much into the results here, but I did feel pretty close to the old SlowJoe. Things are going in the right direction, at least.

| 62F. 8:40s. Recovery - a little hip/ groin soreness from this weekend, actually. Not too bad though.

| 71F, 94%. 7:52 AP. Sticky again, but the cold front is hitting today. You know your blog is boring when you've resorted to talking about weather patterns...
workout tomorrow - 3k pace!

| 52F. Finally got in my track workout: 5 x 800m @ 3k pace, 90 sec rest. The rest was a walk/jog combo, the first time I haven't done active recoveries. Since I had a recent 5k, I guesstimated 3k pace from that and tried to hit 2:52 per repeat.
Results: 2:52, 2:52, 2:52, 2:52, 2:49.
Probably picked the perfect pace to run, then executed exactly like I wanted. I was a little worried after the first one, but the walking rest really helps you reset, even though it's relatively short. Good lung burn, just the kind of workout I need to help get that 5k time down.
