it's starting to come together

warm up: 2 miles
workout: 3x3200m(2miles) with 1:30 rest
cool down: 1 mile

target was 6:30 pace or slighty faster.

Splits: 12:56(6:34,6:22), 12:48(6:24,6:24), 11:41(5:58,5:43)

Obviously this was a little easier than I thought when aiming for my target pace. Completed the first 2 sets comfortably at Alexander Graham Middle School on the paved track. Idea was on the last set to run 6:15-6:00 for the first mile and then under 6:00 for the last mile. This was easier than I thought too. Ran focused on the first mile for the last set, and then tried to negative split (go faster) the last mile. Really had to focus on getting on my toes and try and quicken the turnover. The weather was good: 40's and clear, although there was some wind.

The last two days have been very encouraging. Having back to back great days marks the first time that I've felt this good since training began. No knee problems today either.
