2 mile warm up then workout on the indoor track. We ran 1 mile at 5K date pace, 3 laps at 3K pace and 2 laps at mile pace with 5 minutes rest between. The mile was definitely the worst one. I felt really tight, sore and never got the rhythm. I was trying to hit 5:15 but was slow and ran 5:18. I felt frustrated but tried to refocus for the next part. The 3 laps felt a little better. I ran 62's and finished in 3:06 (about 9:45 pace). I was dreading the last one but it was actually the best of the workout. We got to wear spikes and it felt awesome to open up and go. I ran 58 first lap and 57 last lap (about 4:50 pace). That made the workout feel more successful. I ran laps on the indoor until I was at 6 miles then ran 5 more on the treadmill.
Between classes, I ran 4.5 on the treadmill. I am feeling better about this morning's workout. I was bummed I couldn't hit the 5K pace but I did well overall and not every day is perfect.
