Very good workout today. Went indoors as the temp will remain below 0 today and windchills are between -15 and -20. did 6 x 1000 with 2:15 break, then at the end threw in a 400. First mile of my warmup was GMP. Splits on the repeats:

1- 3:29.9 (5:35 pace)

2- 3:30.8 (5:37 pace)

3- 3:27.4 (5:31 pace)

4- 3:28.0 (5:33 pace)

5- 3:30.1 (5:36 pace)

6- 3:28.8 (5:34 pace)

400 on the end- 1:17, 5:08 pace

Overall a very good workout, i am very happy with a workout at those paces.

2 miles in 14:18, 7:09 pace. Felt really easy and fresh. Weather is getting better too, mid-30s with wc's in the high 20s. Should be similar temps for race time tomorrow. Gonna run a 5 mile road race in Des Moines. Although I have run 27:33 for an 8k before, tomorrow my goal is hit 30:00 exactly. It'd be a great achievement to hold that pace for 5 miles and hit that time right on. It would definitely be a boost for my sub 1:20 half hopes later in the spring.

Ran the Red Flannel Run today, my first time running this annual event. About 700 people ran the 5 mile and about 1300 ran the 3 mile. Its becoming a very big event. My goal was to hit 30:00, however I missed it by 26 seconds. I started off a little fast, probably ran the first 2 mile in 11:30-11:45, then slowed considerably as I found no one to run with. Didn't get any real splits cuz the miles werent marked. my 30:26 is good for 6:05 avg and is still a great effort for this early in the year. I started out at what felt easy and went from there. Two things of note: weather was around 30 degrees and it felt awesome and so did I, felt really fresh. Also, after the first half mile i did not get passed, instead I picked off people from there to the finish, its a nice feeling to go out easy and reel in everyone who went out too fast. a good training run, very happy with the results.
