Ouch! - this was tough today - the intent was to run 2 x 10k at MP

The first one was okay, second rep - not so good.  Oh well, it was the longest hard run I have had since the marathons last fall.  The weight is looking good, the speed is almost there for about 5mi. - 10k, now to get the mileage up...  The goal is MP - 6:45s, rec./easy runs - 8:00s 

Looks like I've got some work to do!

Good job Nathan on doing this at the end of your 70 mi. week!
