Warmed up with Kim down in the river bottoms after the kids were off to school. Then I did some mile repeats while Kim did her thing. Day off of work today as we are picking up our son Tyler at the airport this afternoon as he returns from 2 years in Denmark. Excited! Nice sunny day but a little chilly. Started out in the low 30's and a little breezy from the canyon but probably ended up around 40 degrees. Plan for me was 4 x mile repeats at 5K - 10K pace with .5 mile rests. I cheated a little bit and worked it so I had tailwind and slight downhill for the repeats, but I also shifted my goal pace accordingly and was shooting for 6:15-6:30 pace. I felt pretty good today, best I've felt for a faster workout for a quite a while. Maybe the excitement of seeing Tyler has me all fired up. Would have been a good day to race a 5K. I'm encouraged with how things went today.
Mile splits and HR info as follows: 1 - 6:16/172 (.5 mile slow jog rests in between each mile repeat)
2 - 6:15/182
3 - 6:18/186 4 - 6:14/186 Overall: 7:48/165 max 191
