5x1 mile repeats

ran to the track but it was closed for an event or practise, so I improvised.  I just ran mile repeats on the road.  It turned out ok.  After the first mile I felt good.  I started a 6th but I was done. 

1st - 6:10

2nd - 5:57

3rd - 5:55

4th - 5:54

6 at easy then 4 at MP and then 2 cooldown.  I felt much better this week vs. last Thursday's MP run.  The first 3 were at 6:25, the last one was at 6:40.  I think I lost my concentration.  Plus I guess I need to take water for a run like this...it was around 80 and I lost a lot of water weight.  It wasn't great but it wasn't horrible.  The good thing was that this week I did feel reasonably comfortable at that pace. 

8 at 7:22 pace

4 at 6:30 pace

 73 and overcast but very humid this morning.  My stomach didn't feel too good as I started but that cleared up after about 5 miles.  I finished reasonably strong.  This is a pretty demanding route and takes a lot out of me EVERY time.  But it is in the bank and my race will feel much easier that this route.  I think my next long run will be a finish fast on a route that is more similar to my race route. 

 20.4 miles in 2:37:24 - even split 7:43 pace overall'

OH - also this was my biggest mileage week ever and my legs and joints feel pretty good.  YEA!
