Fatlek run - 1 mile warmup, 16 x 3 min@10K pace/2 min easy. Average pace: 8:44.

Weather: 42°F, 50% humidity, wind 6 SSE.

I slept in a little because I was up too late last night finally getting our taxes finished. I've got to try to go to bed earlier tonight.

I took the route that goes past my office - mostly downhill for the first half and mostly uphill for the second half. I was aiming for about 8:00/mile on the fast sections. My paces on the fast sections were: 8:02, 8:12, 8:03, 8:03, 8:09, 7:45, 8:04, 8:17, 8:10, 8:03, 8:00, 7:57, 8:16, 7:29, 7:56, 7:50.

I felt pretty good on this run, though the later fast sections certainly took more effort than the early ones. I was trying to back off for the first few since they were down hill.

You did a great job on the last ones, especially considering that they were uphill. Your workouts are getting you into good shape!
