The plan had been a three mile run, but its been raining non stop for days! So back to the indoor track. I'm moving to houston on Monday so hopefully I get one last chance for a long run in Audobon park tomorrow

    These look pretty good. Once you get them down to about race pace then you can start cutting the rest intervals. ;-)

    I hope you find Houston to your liking. It will still be hot and humid though.

    Thanks. Looking back on my repeats, they aren't my fastest (7:27, so close) but they are consistently fast. Id be very happy to get a 23 minute 5k as my first race but I think in 6 weeks (when I might run a community 5k near houston) there's a lot of room for improvement.

    So ill be very happy with 23 but am shooting for sub 22:30 best case

    22:30 is within reach. Try plugging in 22:30 in the McMillan pace calculator:
    http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/cgi-bin/calc.pl

    You'll see that he suggests running mile cruise intervals between 7:27 and 7:37. I think you get down there with a little more conditioning. As you said, 6 weeks is a lot of time, and you're almost certainly in 23:00 shape already (note what the calculator says about 23:00.)
