I basically did the same workout today that I did on Tuesday; I went to the lake and back, and I threw a hard mile in the middle of the run. I ran the mile in 4:42 again. This time however, I felt drained almost from the beginning, and I had to work much harder in order to finish in the same time. My splits were: 70, 71, 70.5, 70.5 (the last two quarters are approximate because obviously I can't measure that exactly while on the run, but I know they were about the same based on my watch, and the cumulative time for the second half was a 2:21). If I felt good I was going to take 4:40 pace to a mile and a quarter, but after 1 mile I was spent, so I packed it in and called it a day. Total time for 10.1 miles was 1:20:13.
