AM
5:00 wake up. Found a flat straight road in Rose Park to do 12x1/4 mile at 5k pace. Splits were 71, 80, 78, 77, 76, 76, 77, 78, 78, 79, 79, 75 and a bonus 72 (just undre 77 avg). Garmin paces were 5:09-5:20 (other than the too fast start and the fast finish at about 4:50) so just where I wanted the workout. First one was too fast but then pretty consistent but I did start to lose focus on the last few. Recoveries were about 55-70 seconds of jogging (targeting about half the distance of the interval). Felt strong and fresh after the recoveries. Nice and controlled. A little bit more than 3 up and 3 down for 11 total.
Lunch
Another 8 miles in 7:47 average down to the U and across through Harvard/Yale. Shorts and t-shirt weather - I was cool but not cold. No hot water in the office so I am taking cold showers.
