February 5

AM: 5-mile tempo, 5:00 jog recovery, 4 x 200m with 200 jog recovery - 12 miles

Good but not great workout this morning at the track, hitting the times albeit not as evenly as desired. Negative splits are always better.

I struck out on my own around noon with the intention of hitting my goal half-marathon pace (5:20, or sub-1:10:00 pace), followed by a little speed at the end for some turnover. It was cool and wet though the rain had stopped falling by the time I went out for the workout.

Splits: 26:36 (5:17, 5:18, 5:18, 5:21, 5:19), :32, :33, :31, :31
