Yesterday I ran a total of 4.1 miles, including a 1.3 mile warmup at about 8:40 pace, a 2-mile tempo run on the track averaging 6:56/mile (splits of 7:05 and 6:48), and a 0.8 mile warmdown at just under 9 minute pace. Two weeks ago, I ran nearly an identical workout, averaging 7:06 per mile. Although I was hoping for closer to a 6:45/mile pace yesterday, this was an improvement over just weeks ago. Also, I may have been slightly fatigued from an accidental 8.5 mile "offroad" run on Sunday, in which I became slightly lost in a swamp, and had some amount of trouble finding my way out (without sinking in too deep).
I may have a hankering to try another mile time trial this Friday. The last mile, over two weeks ago, was 5:45, so a reasonable target would be breaking 5:40. But one never knows what will occur when you actually toe the line! Stay tuned!
