ran after tubing in Helen - my legs felt really good and strong

I didn't get out before we left this morning, and Chrys had to work soon after we got home, so my miles are short for the day.  'tis OK.

My wonderful wife let me go out for an evening run tonight.  Interval day

two weeks ago I did 4x1K so this time I did 6x1K at the track.  I went just as the sun dipped below the trees.  That made a huge difference.  Tonight everyone of them felt pretty good.  I was all over the place on pacing but at least none of them was too slow.  

3:35, 3:34, 3:27, 3:33, 3:30, 3:25

Then I did 4 x100m at the end just for some turnover work.  I need to do these more often.

not too much to say today.  I wanted to use this as a gauge of my current fitness.  I have about 5 or 6 weeks until my half, which is my goal race.  Last year I uncorked one here at this race.  So I guess I also wanted to see how this years fitness level compared to last year.   I really wanted to run a couple seconds under 6 per mile.  
The pace went out fine.  I was in the second pack, behind all the official track club racing team guys.  The 5:52 first mile was just fine.  It felt comfortable. Then from there it settled into a 6 min miles +/- a second or two. It was actually a pretty boring race for the most part.  More like a time trial.  I passed a couple guys in the first two miles, then another two between 3 and 5 miles.  Then one more guy between 7 and 8.  Other than that it was just me and the pavement.  It was like a tempo run without my music.  I made up 7 seconds in the last mile so that was a 5:53, which is good.  Unfortunately I didn't put another couple of those miles in, so I didn't go under the hour mark.  And it was 60 sec over my PR from last year. 

10 miles in 60:12- ave pace 6:02 -

2nd place and first in AG

The good thing was that the pace was more or less comfortable.  The bad thing is that I think I got into that zone and stayed there for too long.  I needed to go one slight notch higher.  Either way, I feel good about the race.  I think I can sustain that 6 min pace for three more miles, which is the ultimate goal.
