Off. Was supposed to be 5 miles easy, but tired from wedding the previous day.

1.5 miles in 8:25 (goal was 8:15)

 Very little spring in legs. Disappointing. Ran from Dean/Smith corner to Luquer, to Court, up to near corner of Baltic. Some hill, some avoiding pedestrians. Didn't have a great sense of pace. Could've pushed much harder, I suppose.

Run to and from track, warm up with some strides on the grass and two or three 100m dashes at 17s each, then 2 x .75 miles with half-mile jog between, target time of 4:00 each.

3:53 / (4:30 jog) / 3:55

Much better. Was in control, and feel I could've easily extended either one more lap for a 5:10 mile without being too winded.

Easy 2mi run in AM to loosen up.

PM was 10 x (440yds / 440yds jogging recovery) at 70, 75, 75, 76, 75, 76, 75, 76, 75, 71 (jog rest averaged 2:10)

The sprints were OK, not zippy/bouncy but relatively easy. The target time was 78s, but I wanted to run quarters at my mile goal pace of 75s.

Easy 4 mile run to PP and back, usual route.

I tried to extend my leg as straight and full as possible on the pawback; I think my knees get stiff from insufficient extension.

3/4 mile in 3:48 (goal 3:45)

10:00 rest

1/2 mile in 2:29 (goal 2:30)

I was disappointed in my pace for the first one. Wasn't aggressive enough, and due to the dark couldn't see my splits.
