I guess my run today was technically GMP for pretty much all of it. 5.5 miles, splits:

1- 6:59.0

2- 6:56.5

3- 7:02.2

4- 6:50.3

5- 6:55.2

last .5-- 3:25, 6:50 pace

TOTAL--38:08, 6:56 avg

Wasn't trying to push the pace or anything, just felt really good.

4 x  mile repeats today. wanted to be within 5:40-5:55 for all of the repeats and I was. However, I felt a little sluggish. Maybe that means my training is working? took 3 minutes between each rep until the last one where i took around 3:20. Splits:

1- 5:38.5

2- 5:50.9

3- 5:44.3

4- 5:49.0

Overall, a good workout regardless of feeling tired. I feel like I'm gonna keep improving with more speed work.

Today was a tough workout, both mentally and physically, but I tackled it and pretty much rocked it. 16x400 all between 1:18-1:20,except for the very first rep which was 1:21. Total time added up was 4 miles in  21:11, or 5:18 avg per  mile/ 1:19.5 avg per 400. Started off taking equal recovery, but quickly started taking less, typically around 1:15 between each rep. A good workout and I will be plenty tired tomorrow.

tough 5.5 today. Was sore and tight plus it was rainy and windy--just made for a lovely run, ran 41:31, which i believe is somewhere around 7:33 avg pace.

Tried for 11 today but ran outta gas at 9--seems like thats all the farther i can get lately. Probably the early start, i never do good on an empty stomach running right when i get up. 1:07:45, 7:31.5 avg pace. Pretty humid.
