Weather - 82 degrees, sunny, humid. Had a fun track session today, lots of people showed up (10-12). The clipboard called for 5 x 1000m with 7 minutes between starts, which means about a 3 1/2 minute float. With the long rest I was able to give an honest effort for each interval. Times were 3:34, 3:35, 3:42, 3:46, 3:42. The 4th interval was run too slow, but I made a nice comeback on the 5th. Overall a good workout. Considering my 22 mile run 3 days ago, my legs responded well, and my energy felt about 80%. I did not give an all out effort on the intervals, just trying to hit 5k pace. The first 2 intervals equated to a 5:45 pace, and the 3rd and 5th was 5:57 pace. If I can continue to build my endurance, maybe next year I can run a 5k averaging below 6:00 pace. I guess I have a new goal. Fisher 5k in 3 days, so Thursday and Friday is easy easy. #236 z.m. - 149
