August 5

AM: 7 miles easy

PM: 3 x 2k/1k with 400 jog recovery, 12 miles

The morning run was just a quick shake-out on the Capital Crescent.

In the evening, I met Bain, P. Murphy and Klim at B-CC for the track workout. Though the pace was somewhat inconsistent on the first two, we settled into a groove by the second set. Still, I started "feeling it" by the second 1k repeat, which was a slightly sooner than I wanted. We're getting there, but the temperature was still well into the 80s during the workout; the weather by no means cooled off yet. While I felt decent albeit not yet spectacular by any means, I can feel (or hope...) that I'm beginning to come around at the right time. I felt uncomfortable by the end of the workout but certainly didn't go into the well.

Splits: 6:26 (after slow first lap), 3:05 (fast first lap), 6:26, 3:05, 6:21, 3:03
