4 mile tempo today. Felt kinda sluggish, but my splits were good. Makes me think that when I drop my mileage down starting next week, I should be able to fly in my races. Splits:

1- 5:55.8

2- 6:04.4 (12:00, 6:00 pace)

3- 6:01.7

4- 6:00.8

TOTAL-- 24:02, 6:00.5 avg pace

Overall, very good splits given how not awesome I felt while running. Like I said, hopefully that is a positive thing.

6 easy miles today, i felt very relaxed and comfortable. Kind of a nice change of pace on a more or less shakeout run. Total time was 44:24, 7:24 avg pace.

Vo2 max miles doesnt come close to describing the torture i put myself through today. Today's would classify as unbearable pain miles. did a 1/4 mile loop up the biggest, steepest hill in town today. did 8 ups hard, about 1:30 per 400 up the monster hill, with a jog down between each. so 4 miles of workout with 2 miles of intense uphill speed. So not too impressive to say 2 miles hard, but i probably got more out of that 2 miles uphill than most of my longer tempos.

I was very sore today from yesterday's hill workout. Really tired me out. Ran 5 miles today in 38:24, 7:41 pace, very slow, but couldnt go much faster. Maybe that'll help the legs recover too.
