alright speed workout: mile repeats 6.52 mi 00:44 06:41 pace

mile repeats = fail

My original intentions were to do 3 mile repeats at a sub-6:00 pace with a 1/2 mile rest in between. I think the fast 9 miles yesterday killed me because my legs were dead!

1 mile w/u 8:09
mile repeat 5:45
1/2 mile jog 4:00
(As I started my second mile, I was facing a headwind almost thew whole time and my legs felt very heavy. I looked at my watch and my pace was over 6. I knew the mile repeats were not going to be happening today. Instead, I decided to keep a goal 10k pace for a few miles.)
3.31 miles in 20:23 (6:10 pace)
.71 cool down 5:21

I'm beat. Looking forward to the rest day tomorrow.
