Much better today.

Today was my first really long run in what feels like a long time. I did 20, 4 five mile loops, adding in the quality portion to the last loop. The first three loops I kept the pace pretty even @ 7:30 and felt good. The fourth loop was divided into 3 fast 1 mile sections with an easy half mile in between each. The first mile, starting at 15.5 miles was 6:07 straight into the wind and slightly uphill out the bike trail. The second fast mile, half into the wind half with a tail wind was 6:02. The last mile with a tail wind and slight down hill was 5:44 and felt really good. That was mile 18.5 to 19.5 of 20. This run is to get used to running fast even after my legs are already tired. This was definitely a successful run, a 5:44 after 2 hours of running is pretty good. The time for the whole run was 2:23 ( 7:09 pace.)
Total for the week: 74
for the year: 547
