16.75 miles with progressive tempo: Warmed up 6 miles then did a 10 mile segment with a goal of sub 60 minutes with each mile faster than the last. For whatever reason I wasn't feeling great this morning and I almost pulled the plug after a couple of the faster miles. I'm glad I didn't because I ended up with a good run and not feeling too bad. Splits of the 10 mile tempo (59:03) were 6:06, 6:05, 6:00, 5:58, 5:55, 5:53, 5:51, 5:47, 5:45, 5:40. I cooled down just a little to shake out the legs a little. The end of this run was tough. I was hoping for better weather but that will come next week.
