PM... Workout at Liberty Park. Warm-up [E] 2 miles, then did 2x2 miles and 1x1 mile with 2:00 recoveries. Workout went like this... 2 Mile #1 - 11:16 (5:35, 5:41) 2:00 recovery 2 Mile #2 - 11:04 (5:29, 5:35) 2:00 recovery 1 Mile - 5:34 Had actually planned on 3x2 miles, but I was absolutely shot halfway through the third one. I probably should have pushed through--I'm lame. The crazy work hours and Lucas not wanting to sleep very well is catching up with me--just learning how to juggle all this stuff as a first time dad I guess. I started cooling down and Bill Cobler was running at Liberty Park as well, so we ran together for my cooldown--total of another 3 1/2 easy miles for me. When it was all said and done, ended up with 11 miles. Just like last week, the workout felt tough, but I accomplished my goal of running at a pace faster than last week's workout, with only 1 mile less of volume. Thats probably OK in the big picture since I'm running the PC 1/2 Marathon on Saturday which will get me a good workout between threshold and marathon pace (the plan is to run marathon pace up the hill, and open up on the way back down).
