Yuck. What a brutal run. My legs just did NOT have anything in them today. Ended up running 5 outside and came in to do the last one on the treadmill. The wind out there was brutal again, but I somehow managed negative splits INTO the wind. Not sure how, but I did.
1: 8:34
2: 8:32
3: 8:37
4: 8:31
5: 8:27
6: 8:35 (treadmill).
Don't know why my legs were like cement today. Maybe not enough calories.

May well have been my toughest workout of the year. Tempo run in the wind today. First 2.5 with the wind at my back, next mile quartering it, then 2.5 back driving straight into it, and it was a KILLER wind out here on the tundra today. Tried to keep my splits as even as possible.
Mile 1: 8:17 - 133bpm
Mile 2: 8:21 - 140
Mile 3: 8:24 - 147
Mile 4: 8:40 - 151
Mile 5: 8:45 - 156
Mile 6: 8:44 - 155

Tempo run 3.5 in 28:29 (8:06min/miles) on the treddy.
Really tough to finish this one off. REALLY starting to hate that treadmill. I think I'm off it now except for hill workouts when I can't make it to the hills (which will probably be most weeks).
Anyways, if to hit a 3:45 mary, I've gotta run 8:10s all the way thru with walk breaks, I don't think I'm going to make it. Time will tell, I guess, but 3.5 seemed rediculously difficult today, never mind 23 more. Might have to re-evaluate my time goal.
Damn, I seemed faster last year! That pace never seemed to be a problem.
