Ran 3 miles toward the top of river bottoms road with Kim then we did our own thing with her running 10 easy and me doing 2 x 2 miles @ around 1/2 marathon pace.

Felt OK but not great during the fast miles.  Ran everything in the 6:45-7:00 pace range which was the goal.  Probably still have some of Saturday's long run fatigue lingering.  I don't have my actual splits handy at the moment, I'll add them later.

Later hadn't planned on going to the gym today but needed a break so did easy 20-min XT workout. 

Splits (ave pace/HR): 1 - 6:49/165 (slight downhill), 2 - 6:53/176 (flat), 3 - 6:50/176 (flat), 4 - 6:57/182 (uphill at end)

Overall: 8:18/155 max HR 187

It'll feel easier on Saturday.

When I need a break, I get ice cream!

Nice job!
