5 pretty early and pretty slow miles with Amber. Fun time chatting. Glad I could get in a run before work!
After work and a solid nap, warmed up a mile, 4 strides, 3 miles tempo, and a mile cool down. I was still feeling lunch, but it’d been 2.5 hours. It was in the high 80s, but this was my only chance to run the workout. Originally, I wasn’t too focused on time, but half a mile in, I decided to shoot for a sub 20 (6:40 min/miles). But, I’m still quite satisfied with 6:45, 6:44, 6:44 resulting in a 20:14. I felt strong the whole time and was 5 seconds behind at 1.5. Reaching a sub 19 doesn’t seem as far away as it did a month and a half ago, given there is still a decent amount of time to cut off. The cool down was with Ruby who was so excited to run, until 3/4 mile in, haha.
