May 15 – on cinders warm-up was 1000 m plus stretch +5×100 m speed segments Workout was 3×1000 m at 5:30 – cool down 800 m .- total distance 4 1/2 miles
The goal was to run thousand meter repeats under 10 minutes. It turned out I was able to run all of them under nine minute pace to my surprise. I have been putting off that work out for a while for fear of not being able to complete it successfully. I’m glad I did it.

Stats – weight is 144 pounds – sleep is averaging 9 to 10 hours nightly – resting heart rate remains consistent at 54 bpm – no leg or foot issues – diet is consistent and healthy.
