The fall is upon us

Tuesday, 10/5--The fall is upon us. Wet, Windy, Colder. Henderson. 4 x 1200. 5K pace. 200 jog in-between.
Run 1--4:35 (46 sec/200; 6:06/mile pace. 18:55 5K pace.)
Run 2--4:13 (42+ sec/200; 5:37/mile pace. 17:25 5K pace.)
Run 3--4:11 (42 sec/200; 5:35/mile pace. 17:19 5K pace)
Run 4--4:03 (40 sec/200; 5:24/mile pace. 16:44 5K pace)

Average run--4:16 (42+ sec/200; 5:41. 17:39 5K pace)

On 8/31/10, the workout was 4x1200 at or below 5K pace.with a 200 jog rest That morn, everyone agreed to take the easy...6 minute pace. We thought we'd do 45s...as in 45 seconds per 200, and then drop a second per 200 for the other 1200s.
Trial 1: 4:31 (~45s)
Trial 2: 4:23 (~44s)
Trial 3: 4:17 (~43s)
Trial 4: 3:58 (~39s)--

Today's workout was probably a bit stronger (maybe by an average of 2-3 seconds), particularly given the condition.

I have to get these 1200s down by 5-10 seconds and soon.

Monday, 10/4--Wet. Rainy. I did a short, easy 3.1 mile run in exactly the same time my daughter completed her Kennett 5K last spring--25:16.
