Taper workout. Easy 10 minutes, then 30 minutes at 5:45, 15 minutes at 6:25, and 3x1000m ~3:10. Still have a cold and didn't sleep well last night.
5:47.8(148) | 5:45.7(153) | 5:44.1(155)
5:44.0(157) | 5:51.3(157) | 1:06.1(161)
3:10.5(163-:59) | 3:09.7(159-:59) | 3:09.8(162-:56)
Last 2+ miles was into a solid breeze, so HR stacked up a bit due to that (and the cold). Slowed to keep the HR reasonable during the last mile. Decided on 3 reps rather than 4 for the 1000s, but I felt fine to go for another. Better to leave it out there with a race coming up and being a bit under the weather.
15K race on Saturday. Ready for a 49:30 or thereabouts, so I'm shooting for a sub-49. We'll see what we get.

I did a slower version of this workout, and while I thought the 1000's would be tough at the end they ended up feeling easier than the pace-work in the middle. If you can get yourself right by getting rid of the cold you should have a good day this weekend.
It's cool you and Cindy got to do a run together. Sounds like the company is providing some babysitting.
Good Luck with the race, Eric. I hope the cold won't have an effect by then.
Love your line and attitude: "ready for a 49:30, shoot for sub 49".
Good Luck with your race on the weekend. Don't worry about the cold just blow it out and keep movin'. :-)
