Notes
3ish mile warm up+8-10 @5:20-25+ cool down to 16. I didn't feel too bad this morning but anytime we jog the warm up and don't have the luxury of stopping and doing drills/strides before dropping into pace never feels great. I got dragged out by Frank ( his pace was 5:10-20) for the first mile or so and the gap between me and Willie/Austen never really came back. I took some confidence from being on my own though. We did a bit of a modified loop today: instead of cutting through Longbow we kept following spine all the way until it wrapped around to 63rd. This meant the loop was almost a perfect 4 miles, but we had a very short steep climb at the end. I didn't feel like I settled in too much this morning but I also made a concerted effort to not fight myself which may have been the saving grace. I had to tackle the uphill stretches but the momentum carrying me to the other side allowed me to coast for a few blessed sections. Ended up knocking out some very consistent splits. 5:19.8, 5:19.4, 5:22.5, 5:22.3, 5:22.2, 5:19.6, 5:22.4, 5:20.3, 5:18.0, 5:19.0
