1:17:41 :: 11 miles

Volume speed workout. 5-10 x 1000m in 3:12 on 5:00. Did an 18:00 or so warmup, then 8x1000 like this:

3:07(160-:46) | 3:10(157-:54) | 3:11(158-:51) | 3:10(159-1:06) | 3:10(163-1:02) | 3:09(163-1:16) | 3:09(161-1:07) | 3:09(161-:59)

Just over 2.7mi to cooldown, part of it with my neighbor, Rick. Workout went well. The first was too fast, then I settled in to the right pace by holding back somewhat. After the fifth one, I decided anything beyond that was a bonus, and that I would just relax and go how I felt. Those three reps ended up a little faster, but felt smoother overall. Got a touch of fatigue at the seventh rep, and decided to do one more, which actually felt really strong. No problems with the hip, although it is tingling and feels a bit tired right now. Cold bath and recovery drink after.

Isn't a tingling hip the sign for a marathon PR? You know, like an itchy palm means you're coming into money?

I thought an itchy palm was something else...

No matter. I will step out on a limb and GUARANTEE a marathon PR. How do you like them apples?
