Notes
Interesting and very fulfilling run. This ended up being a cross between a tempo run and regular run. I had originally planned to run 3 miles on the track. However, I was running about 45 sec/mi faster than I had been and was dialed into "Gold Digger" by Kanye West (perfect speed and fun song/lyrics), so I decided to not go for a full 3 miles and instead go more for lesser distance and more speed. Did 1.5 miles in 16:14, did a .25 mile walk (1 lap) and then ran another mile for a total of 2.5 miles in 27:00. Was sore enough at 2.5 miles to be functional but not really able to go for a full 3 miles, especially since my quick pace held through the whole run. I also don't feel bad about the walk at all because this is the fastest I've ever run 1.5 miles and I was really pleased to hold this pace for the mile after the walk, and was even able to kick it up just a touch for the last 100 of the mile.
