Man legs are tired after that.  Short warm up then 5 x 1,000s with 200m jog as a recovery.  Time were solid if not spectacular.  When I got to 3, i said to myself I can do 2 more at this pace or ease off on the pace and do 3 more.  I chose to push the pace.  Then a jog back to the gym.

Didn't feel right in the morning so left it very late (6:45pm) to head out for this run.  It was colling down, but still much warmer than I'd like.   However, I was determined to get some good mileage in.  I focused on staying relaxed, and not expending too much energy early on.  I actually felt pretty good at about mile 8 so pushed it for a couple of miles and then eased off at the end.  Even managed a mile of MGP action, which is a million mile from last week when my average pace mayhave been over 9 min/mile.  On the right road...long may it continue...
