5.5mi (8x400 intervals)

Letters to Cleo, "Pizza Cutter"
Corrosion of Conformity, "What(?)"

WX at 0700: 63 (17) DP 60 (16), BP 30.07 (1018.3), calm, RH 90%

Odometer 3: 173.5mi

Z4 high-Z5.
Resting heart rate before start = 52 (127/80)

The fastest yet. Weather was also about as good as I'm likely to see it this summer.

Next Tuesday, I intend to do the PT test. Based on today, I think I'm ready. Latency times in between splits are no better, but the splits are. I'm almost embarrassed to admit how much speedwork has helped me. I think I actually stand a credible shot at running under 14 minutes now. The goal is 13:18 for the two-mile. Since my slowest split was 99, this is encouraging.

Taper to follow after I do the Baltimore-Annapolis HHH Beer Mile on Friday, if jwer decides to join in.

Splits
1: 92/2:39
2: 93/2:41
3: 91/2:47
4: 89/2:47
5: 96/3:07
6: 99/2:52
7: 90/3:17
8: 89/2:37
