Thunderstorm moving in...stiff wind going out except where protected on the LaPlatte Rd. bluff. 4x 1/2 mi. w/ 1/2 mi. jog between: 3:15/3:20/2:58/3:08 then 1x 1/4 mi. in 1:15. Not the greatest workout of my life but working hard so I guess I'll take that. Big plus is that I felt healthy enough to attempt it.

Workout Wednesday. 2x2/mi repeats at 5k pace with a .5/mi AR between. Felt amazing going out as I haven't run 5k pace in a long time. The wind destroyed me coming back. The goal was to keep both under 12:30. Meh.

2/mi wu, 2x2/mi w/ .5/mi AR (12:16, 12:50 [wind]), 2/mi cd

I had to do this early and miss my group. I decided to just do the treadmill to monitor my pace a little easier.

1 mile wu
4 miles at HMP (748)
1 mile cd

This was harder than I was hoping, or thinking, that it should have been. Crap, I hope I can do this.

Now, I'm at work and it's a regular Sh#tShow.

Happy HumpDay.

.5 cool down

Today's run was more consistent than most of my workouts, but that's not saying much. And it's not like it was a 6 mile tempo. But I feel good about it.:)

Song of the day: "Reason to Believe" by Rod Stewart, closing out "Every Picture Tells a Story". Love the original from Tim Hardin as well.
