Warmed up a couple miles then went to the track for 6 x 400 workout. From last time I did this I figured I should be able to do them in the 1:30-1:35 range which ended up about right. Definitely not easy but I probably could have done a couple more if I absolutely had to.

Splits: 1:33, 1:33, 1:32, 1:32, 1:32, 1:28 (nice!)

After couple miles of warmup I did tempo run on the Speedy Spaniard 10K course. I had hoped running 6 miles around 7:30-7:45 pace wouldn't feel too difficult but I just wasn't feeling the love and stopped at 5 miles. Not sure why 7:45 felt so hard I guess just one of those days. And doesn't help that I'm still packing 5 extra pounds and am 3 years older compared to when I last did this type of training run.
