AM:  49F.  6 @ 7:51 AP.  Didn't run at all this weekend...life happens.  Too late in the game to try and make up mileage/workouts so I'll just pick up where I left off and try to have a good thanksgiving workout.  We'll be in Longview so maybe a hilly 4-3-2-1 or an MP wave tempo.  I could use the hills, probably.

PM : 4 ez with the mutt after dinner

39F.  15.5 @ 6:51 AP.  4 mile warm up.  Went with a hilly 4-3-2-1 for the last-chance workout.  Kept it at MP or better and tried to pick up the effort as I went.  Obviously not all miles are created equally - the splits jump around - but there was a good progressive effort throughout.

4 @ 6:33 AP - 6:30, 6:36, 6:34, 6:33

3 @ 6:22 AP - 6:18, 6:23, 6:26

2 @ 6:20 AP - 6:12, 6:28

1 @ 6:07

I had a nice half mile easy between each block, so a pretty good reset, allowing me to attack them harder than MP.  Kept the rest honest though, 7:40s-7:50s.  Good hard effort.

Then a 100m cooldown in the parking lot.
