Well, that was a clusterfk in the soup. I was cooked within the first three miles at 9:00 pace and it went way downhill from there. Ended up just trying to avoid being caught by the 2:30 pace group. Fortunately managed to achieve that anyway. Not that it's much consolation. Temp in the 60s, 87% humidity and no wind. Bleah.

Progression run on the mill. 5.5 building up, 0.5 at 8:00 pace, 0.5 cooldown. Went OK. Legs seem to have recovered from Sunday.

4 x 800 on the mill after work. Pretty good in spite of being very sleepy. Total of 6 miles in all.
