Total Distance
13.50

AM: 9.5 miles w/5 x 1200 w/400 recovery jogs. Current 5k pace was the idea. Splits were 3:49, 3:54, 3:52, 3:53, 3:52. I am happy with this workout given the heat and limited speed I've done lately. I warmed up about 2.75 miles including strides and flexibility exercises. Cooled down about 1.75 miles after. I hope to run this pace at the local 5k on Saturday.

PM: I was feeling good so I decided I would run outside one last time just so I knew for sure that running outside at 2:30-3 was longer an option for my second runs. I was expecting the worst and I brought a 10oz bottle in each hand. I was pleasantly surprised that running in 112 degree heat is possible for me. The run was actually ok.I didn't take a watch and I just made sure to take it easy and not get to a point where I was breathing hard. I did see one other runner out. I took the wrong key with me though and locked myself out. I had to find someone at the park and call Allison for a spare key. Other than that good run.

Nice workout Derek!

You've bounced back really well from the marathon.
