Notes
1.3 mile warm-up before this started. 5:42 average for the faster part. I was hoping to average 5:45-5:50 for the faster portion of the run, so I'm really pleased with how it went. I felt like crap yesterday and didn't know how I'd run in this. Felt a bit herky-jerky for the first few miles and then worked into the 5:40s a few miles in. Gradually felt better and better and the last four miles, I ran 5:32 for my slowest mile and 5:16 for the last. Effort felt really relaxed and rather than being tired at the end, I felt more warmed up. I feel like if I could have turned down the temperature 25 degrees, and had a race-like environment, I could have run at least under 2:22. Ran this on an empty stomach (except for coffee) and didn't take a water break
