8 miles mostly easy with the exception of four laps at the track where I ran the straights really hard and the curves at a steady pace. Nice work for developing some power. 7 min avg.

12 miles with 8 x 1/2 mile reps on the road with 2 min jogs. Warmed up close to 5 miles including drills and strides then I did the workout. My goal was to start conservative and work my way down in groups of two reps. Splts were 2:37, 2:37, 2:34, 2:34, 2:31, 2:31, 2:34, 2:28. With the exception of the 7th rep it looks I accomplished my goal. This was a tough workout as most of my workouts are. The last 1/4 of the last one I was really pushing hard to get under 2:30. This was my first true VO2 Max workout since Boston so I'm pretty happy with it. I feel like I don't have a ton of power/pop in my legs so to hit these splits is pretty good for me.

10 miles around the neighborhood. I thought about some sort of workout but opted to run easy instead. I didn't quite feel all the way recovered from Tuesday. 6:59 pace
