Went out around 7:30a to beat the heat. Had some cloud cover today and a bit breezy. Original plan was for 4 x 1 mile @ 10K pace with 3min jog rests.  But with the race Saturday and feeling a little off the last couple of days I decided to just do 3 x 1 mile. Seems like this was a good move as I wasn't feeling the greatest and the pace felt harder than it should have.  Also noticed my HR maxing out the last 2 miles and it shouldn't really max out at all for this workout.  Hopefully after a couple more days taking it easy I'll feel back to normal.

The 3 fast miles were all around 6:40 pace. 

7:54/163

Thanks Jim. I haven't been following anybody's blogs much lately but I'm glad to see you've been feeling well and gradually able to ratchet up the running miles.
