Fun workout this morning! 3 mile warmup, followed by 4 X 2KM (1.25 miles) at 10KM race pace, and 2 mile cooldown. I ran the 2KMs repeats on a hilly loop near my house. To add to this morning's festivities, it was 35 degrees and raining. I should have taken up racquetball or something.

All in all, though, the workout was a success and I felt strong. No idea what kind of times/pace I was running as I have decided to no longer time my intervals. Instead, I'm going to "run by feel." Shorter workouts will be at either 2 mile or 5K race pace, and the longer work will be at 10K or half marathon pace. When I time my workouts I tend to compete with myself, always trying to run faster than the last workout, which leads to fatigue, burnout, and injury.

10 miles for the day.
