AM: Tempo Miles 10.15 06:16 pace

Warmed up 2.8 miles with drills and strides then did 5x1 mile on the road w/1 min recovery jogs. Splits were 5:35,5:35,5:34,5:34,5:31. I cooled down about 1.85 miles after. I was hoping this would feel a little more comfortable but it was hard. Good threshold workout though and one workout closer to better weather.

Nice reps Derek. Good runs this week. I bet the trip to Show Low was a nice little break from the heat

Nice running Derek! Your mileage amazes me.

Thanks guys (and gal). Jake: Showlow was awesome for running. Great scenery, cool air, and lots of hills. Everything we don't have here. Angie- if you want some real high mileage follow Jake's training. He puts me to shame.
