I made a mistake, though, and paid for it

Mon, 8/6

Today was supposed to be an easy 30-min run. For a change in scenery, I went to Woodfield Park (on Amwell Rd, Hillsborough) for my duty. I wound up doing 4 loops, each .65M; a fifth loop was in a figure 8, which was .79M.

Loop 1: 5:55
Loop 2: 11:45
Loop 3: 17:30
Loop 4: 23:10
Finished up in 29:50 (total 3.39M, 8:48/mile pace)

On tap for tomorrow: 3x1 mile at 5K pace. The workout does not specify rest time. I think I'll go with 3 minutes, per Competitor Running http://running.competitor.com/2016/01/training/workout-week-mile-repeats_115610
(Mid-August 2017 I did a solo 6:08, 6:08, and 5:57.  The average of my 200m slow jog-rest was 1:55.)

Sun, 8/5

On this humid morning, I had a 75:00 run scheduled. I went to Duke Island Park for 4 loops (2.11M each) around the park, with the fourth loop being the 5K course. This would be 9.48M.

Mile 1: 8:15
End of first loop (2.11M): 17:05
first mile after first loop: 7:50 (24:55)
End of second loop (4:22M): 33:30 (16:25 2.11)
first mile after second loop: ---
End of third loop: 49:50
first mile after this loop: --
The time read 1:06:30 with 1 mile to go
Finished up in 1:14:00 (last mile run in 7:30)

9.48M in 1:14:00. Pace: 7:48/mile

I made a mistake, though, and paid for it: I ran this on an empty stomach. I didn't mean to, but I forgot to eat.
