I had one of my best workouts of the season today. The weather was at about 70 degrees, and we were running on the Chittick Field track, instead of Poly's dirt. The first mile repeat was one of the easiest miles that I have ran. The first lap went out fast at about 71, but I was not too phazed. 5:02 was a quick mile. The three 400s were 71, 73, 68. These felt fine, and I still had room left for 300s. The 300s were 50, 49, 50, 47. Although I sprinted too hard on the 2nd one, I kicked in strong to finish. Going for under 16:00 at Mt. Sac.

The recovery run at LC park today felt great. 8 alley strides helped increase my turnover and recovering hip muscles.

The Signal Hill workout from today was somewhat dissapoining. I did not get as much sleep as a would of liked, so I was feeling fatigued from the start. The 3 mile tempo of 18:22 was alright, although I fell of pace from the front group. The next .85 loop was hard, because it was backwards. 4:51 was okay for how I was feeling. For mile repeats and 400s, I am hoping to average 5:15 for the miles, and 71 for the 400s.
