3 mile warm up to Cottonwood track. 6x1 mile with 400 recovery jog. My only goal for this workout was to finish all 6 and try to keep it under 6:00 pace. I was able to do both but my legs were dead. I think being sick last week zapped them. I felt like there was nothing left in the tank after the 3rd mile. But, it wasn't horrible. And in reality, I don't need to be running faster than 6:00 miles for marathon training.
Splits- 5:55, 5:55, 5:55, 5:57, 5:59, 5:59
1.5 mile cool down to get 12 miles total. I'm going to really focus on eating well, staying hydrated and getting good sleep (I had a rough time sleeping last night).
