Another day of intervals. Slow 10:30 warm up.

400    800    1200   Pace
1:27   1:29          5:52
1:25   maybe?        5:40
1:30   1:36   1:44   6:27
1:28                 5:52
1:34                 6:16
1:24                 5:36
1:23                 5:32
TOT  14:33           5:49

Cool down for 9:20. Total of about 4.5 miles for the day, running/jogging, another nearly 2 miles of walking 400 at a time between runs, so about 6-ish miles of motion.

Temp was about 55° with very little wind. That 1st 400, I had the watch on Data, not Chrono, so I missed getting the time, but was early and felt fast, so I'll assume 1:25. The wind was into my face on that 5th run (was supposed to be an 800, but I wimped out). Since I wimped out, I decided to do an extra 400 to make up the distance and to do them as fast as I could. I ran a total of 2.5 miles at an average of 5:49 pace...so, ah...I met my 6:10 or better goal, but went a LOT faster than I wanted. Oh well....I wanted pain. Shins are feeling pretty good, though, so that's nice, since I don't want THAT kind of pain.

My buddy Steve went out and ran 9.25 miles...nut-job! We're both nuts, I'm nuts sprinting like this, he's uts running such long distances...although, I'm sure I'll do a few of those with him after this 5k, before the 10k. And I know he'll go out and do more intervals and some fast 5k tempo runs...so, yeah, we're both nuts!

Anyway, now to try and get a good nights sleep...I hope Jacky only wakes up once, if that!
