Awful run.  Warmed up tot he track to do mile repeats.  However, midway through the second lap my legs were just empty.  Decided to rest up, and try again another day!

A little more juice in the legs today, but far from perfect.  Hopefully will do ok when I go for 2K repeats tomorrow.

Long warm up then 4 x 2Ks with 2 min rest in between each one.  Splits were as follows: 7:53, 7:47, 7:53, 7:58.  Legs were hurting on that last one!  Splits weren't anything super special, but I'll take it!

Encouraging run today.  I made the mistake of going out with a faster group than I should have it.  Deep down I knew it was a fools errand, but perhaps I needed to see how long I could hang with them.  The answer to that question was about 6 1/2 miles, and then managed to stay in touch for another couple of miles.  Still they were a great few miles.  Had to take my foot off the pedal to prevent a blow up, but then found some speed at the end.  Ended up with 7:33 average pace, which is my best for a very long time.  I'll need more speed, but this was a good boost and that coupled with my 17 mile 7:45 average pace last week means I'm continuing to move in the right direction.
