AM - 5xMile.  Ran them on the modified PV tempo loop (no bottom L section) after a Mall (5 mile) warm where I attempted tinman the last mile and finished with a 3 mile cool.  I really don't know what to think of this set of miles.  The times were very slow for what I have been doing lately, but it was the first time running them on this loop as well as the first time in the early morning.  So I'll try to take them with a grain of salt, especially since I know how hard I was working (at least after the first one) and try not to get down on myself.  1-5:41, seriously!  During the tinman I just didn't get it going at all and it carried over to this first mile.  I did get the second 1/2 much better than the first.  The first has a little riser and I just couldn't overcome it today (I'm not a strong hill runner, so this killed my times, but was probably really good for me to work on).  So my first half was over 6:00 pace (I'll put those first 1/2's in parathesis so that I can see how I improve on them in the future, 6:02).  2-:31, tried to work the first half stronger (5:40) and keep the 2nd 1/2 strong.  3-:29, (:46), at least the time is improving.  4-:27, (:43), have to really tell myself not to get too frustrated at the slower times and just keep pushing.  5-:23, (:39), my legs were spent.  This was the most tired I have been after a set of miles this season (but with the worst times).  I know I worked hard, just not a lot there in the legs and a tougher (albiet not killer by any means) loop.  The cool was especially slow.  (Kinvara3 555.5)

afternoon - 5 2xDI. Ran a DI warm and cool and a few laps since the team had a Kosmin test. Some pretty impressive stuff for this time of year. (F50 609.75)

I just can't believe how many miles you are putting in with a lot of quality work mixed in there. Despite the slower times today, I'm sure you are getting stronger and with a little rest before racing you are going to kill it in the races!

I've always run better with a little higher miles. So if I can get up around 100 pretty consistently I usual feel my strongest. Hopefully next week I can freshen up a bit.

I drove my car a hundred miles one time.

That's great that you're able to put in that kind of mileage. I've never been able to get above 80 without having parts start to break down. You must be built like a Toyota or Honda.
