I ran with Jenny for 3 miles, then shortly after that I started on doing 2 x 2mi + 1mi with a goal pace of 6:25. First set was hard to get to the pace I wanted, but I managed to get there at the end of the first mile, then did about the same on the second mile. For the second set, the pace was easier to get to and I was able to hold a little bit faster. I was running a little bit late, so the final mile came in handy to get me back home on time. Splits: 6:24, 6:23, 6:18, 6:20, 6:19 When I had woken up this morning I wasn't feeling up for any kind of speed work, but with the half-marathon not too far away (10/31), I wanted to get in some longer repeats. Glad I went ahead and did it.
Average pace: 7:37
