Today did 10x1K with 200 meter recovery. I went down the canyon, but the wind decided to play tricks on me and blow stubbornly uphill. Still, I was able to reach the target pace. The first interval was a little slow - 3:03. Then I overcompensated with a 2:54. The next interval was more conservative - 2:57. Then I hit the hills around Nunn's Park and had 3:02. The next two intervals made up lost ground - around 2:58. Then I hit another hill and had a 3:02. The next interval was a high 2:57, and the last two were in 2:59 and another 2:57.

  On average had about 2:58 - happy with this result as it was into a significant headwind.

Today we had another family 5K. For whatever reason I wasn't able to crack 4:54 pace, and ended up with 15:17. We had some records - Jacob, Stephen, and Matthew all got PR's. Matthew is only 20 seconds or so behind Stephen, despite the age gap.
