20.  First 8 I thought this is gonna be easy since first mile was easily 8:36. Oh boy was I wrong. Hit a wall at mile 11.  Mentally and physically.  So I walked and stopped several times.  Got to mile 15 and ran the rest with two brief stops.  8:39 avg with like 45 min of stops. 2:53:19  ran cinco ciudades loop. Difficult run. Hilly.

impromptu speed.  1 mile warm up on TM 8:57.   15 x 1 min on/off  one percent incline   

Ons @  3 x 7:19, 3 x 7:13, 3 x 7:06, 3 x 7:03, 3 x 6:58.

Offs all at 9:05.   

Cool down to five miles at 8:57-8:13 pace  and walking incline for five minutes. 

Total time 40:49  for five. So 8:10 avg   Good way to make five miles fly by. 

Been a while. But starting to feel the need for speed.   But I have to build up from scratch. Last year it tried workouts too fast for my loss of fitness and got injured just before Saint George.  I have to be smarter.  And just be real.

2 warmup.  3.25 5 k.  Tired after trying to get people to go the right way for the 5 k. Was going to do the half but wanted the see my daughters soccer team play their first season game against forza. So changed a half hour before to it.  I won it overall.  One female went wrong way. Went past turn around.  No one was there to guide her sadly. 24:41 for 3.25 miles. 7:35 pace.  Walked up the incline three times which slowed me down greatly. It was steep.
