A good day,

but not a great workout...
But when the good part is that good, it's hard to worry about a run.
I had my brain checkup today and all was good. No change is good news. We were out of there and home by 1:30. I had to take a little time to digest, and fight the urge to take a nap.
When I finally headed out for my run it was warm and humid (excuse #1) and for some reason, mentally I was dreading this workout (excuse #2.) The plan was to run 3 x 1 mile @ race pace with 400m recovery jog, which I'm thinking should be 5:35. After warming up, I had a hard time hitting 5:40 on the first one. The second one didn't feel any easier @ 5:41. At that point I decided that since I wasn't hitting the splits, maybe I should just call it a day. So I did a short jog to make it 5 overall. The "mile" I was running was one that I measured on google maps, but after the run, I measured it with my car and it came out long. So, maybe I was hitting the splits, or at least I was closer than I thought. After measuring it again on the computer, I think it was definitely long, at least a couple of seconds. I should have done this workout on the track... oh well.
