AM: 5.7 at 7:20 pace.  I am gonna run with the girls in tonight's workout because I want to be very fresh for sunday's race (mayors cup for those of you who have heard of it).  I am doing the 8k and am almost certain I can break 29... probably faster so like 28:30 is my goal which is 5:44 pace.  On the track a few weeks ago I had a workout of 3x2miles in which I hit something like 5:54 pace for the first set, 5:50 pace for the second set, and 5:45 for the third set.  I wasn't struggling to do that so if I am actually in the same shape as I was then I should be able to hold a little better than that for 8k.  We will see.

 

PM: 4x2km at 6min pace with 200m recoveries.  No girls showed up for the workout so I went ahead and did the workout with henry.  But I kept it steady and relaxed if not comfortable (the english language is not robust enough to describe different aerobic efforts).  Basically I think I could have hammered out 5:50's but I saved myself a bit because of the race on sunday.
