7/28- Sprint tests. Did the opener in 55. Very pleased with that. Last week, it took 3 pills to hit that time. After 4 pills, I was all the way down to 43. The gap has not closed at all. Not so pleased about that but it does suggest room for much improvement.
Real workout was 2.5 in tough humidity. Finished in 23:21 (9:20 pace). That's a pretty significant improvement over last time (25:09) but the rate of improvement is slowing. That's okay. I knew it was unsustainable. As it is, I skipped the 24s and came closer to breaking into the 22s. Splits were 11:44-11:37. No real ill-effects from the 6 miler and no sign of autoimmune reactions.
Distance-3.0
7/29- Vestavia Mile in 8:04. Improvement over last time but hoped for better. Heart wasn't into it this morning and it was probably the most uncomfortable weather yet this summer. Already pushing 80 degrees at sunrise with nearly 100 percent humidity. Still, cutting off 20 seconds in 4 days is nothing to sneeze at. If I was fully fresh, I am pretty sure that I come in under 8. Well paced again. Splits were 2:00-2:04-2:04-1:56. 20 seconds down, 34 to go. Might be out this evening for a light workout. It will be very hot but less humid. I get a rest either tomorrow or Thursday.
