MILE REPEATS
I came down with a bit of a headcold last night (just trying to be like Matt!), so I didn't want to try and kill this workout. Instead I wanted a good effort that wouldn't wear my body down too much. So, I figured I would run about the same pace as I did for this workout a month ago (4:53 avg for 5 reps).
I met up with Jason and Dave and we ran these around the pond. The first three reps I felt sluggish and tired, but I actually felt quite brilliant on the last two. I picked up the last 1/4 mile of the final one too. Splits: 4:54 4:52 4:53 4:49 4:44 (4:51 avg)
I will try to get a lot of sleep over the next few days and see if I can get rid of this cold quickly. The timing is much better though with the cold this time. This is my third cold of the year and the other two were one week out from Phoenix Marathon and one week out from Utah Valley Half. So, it's nice to have plenty of time this time around to get rid of this before St. George.
