A really nice finish to the biggest mileage week in a really long time. Probably the most in almost a year.

Thick overcast this morning and still very humid. Fortunately, it wasn't super warm. Another early workout this week...was on the track by 6am.

The workout was 3M@5:08 followed by a 1:00 rest and then 1 more mile "faster." Hit 5:05, 5:09 and then 5:08. My coach had told me before the workout that I was going to have a few negative thoughts during that 1:00 rest heading into the fourth and final mile. He wasn't kidding. I did manage a 5:03. Would have been nice to go sub 5:00 but I am very happy with how the week's mileage went. The workouts were solid coming off of a very good performance in last Saturday's Torchlight race.

Now let's hope I can stay healthy.

Wow!! Amazing!! What would you suggest to a novice runner (me) who would like to step it up? I want to get faster and more efficient in my running and I don't know where to start. Any advice?
