Intervals (8.4mi)

Took the dog for a 2 mile warm up, then ran 1/2 mile intervals.
Weight: 137 lbs
Time: 62 min

Went to bed early and slept okay, but not great.  Did my warm up, stretching, and lower body cross training.

Warmed up with a 2 mile run with the dog.  After getting her back home I ran to the soccer fields, followed by 8 x 100 m striders (w/100 m cool downs.)  After that, I ran 6 x 800 m intervals w/100 m cool downs.  Finished up with a run back home.

Did well today.  Kept a good pace for most of the intervals, only taking it a little too easy with a 5:50/mi pace in the middle.  The rest of the time I kept closer to a 5:40/mi pace.
