Speed day again - I decided to do some 1000m repeats at 10k pace on the road.  It took me a couple to get a feel for the pace but I think I locked in at the end.  I did .3 miles in between.  1.7 to and back from the starting point.  The ave pace for the repeats was at 5:48, which is probably about right - at least a good starting point.  Glad this one is in the bank.  I will try to keep doing these this fall, building the number of repeats up towards 10. 

3:48 (oops), 3:36, 3:30, 3:34, 3:34, 3:33

PM - 4 recovery miles -  7:28 ave pace

After I got the kids, I officially signed up for the half on Oct 30th.  That'll be my goal race.  Then I'm going to do the one with the ATC on Thanksgiving.  It'll be a new course so that should be fun.
