Faster Times At Franklin Field

After an average return to repeats here on Tuesday I had my best 5 miler to date yesterday so I was hopeful of a decent track workout this evening.
Conditions were favourable,close to 45 degrees making life alot easier,granted at 4.20pm it wasn't 45 degrees but frankly it was a darn sight warmer than it's been.
I almost didn't go w/ 5x1,000m this evening,I thought about another crack at 6x600m but rethought that,continuity is key right now.
By the time I got done warming up and stretching it was close to 4.50pm,sunset is 4.58pm so obviously I'd be finishing the repeat in the dark but at least Franklin Field affords me floodlights.

#1,1,000m 1.19,1.27,40-3.26.54.I had set myself a target of 3.30 per repeat,if I learnt anything on Tuesday it's that a combination of the cold,added layer of clothes and lack of speed work in the past three weeks means pushing up my target times for now and then work them back down.
#2,1,000m 1.22,1.24,40-3.26.39.After flip flopping my 800m splits a near identical overall time,I'd set 1.20. as my opening 400m split and was sticking close to it,I just needed to reduce my second 400m
#3,1,000m 1.20,1.22,39-3.21.10.If I'd been guilty of running #1 flat footed I was at least now up on my toes and the difference was noticeable,not just in form but also time.
#4,1,000m 1.20,1.22,39-3.21.18.Buoyed by yesterdays return to form over 5 miles I was able to transfer that form into repeats today,if today's target time of 3.30. seemed easy dropping down to 3.20s shouldn't be beyond my reach on the evidence of my last two repeats.
#5,1,000m 1.20,1.22,35-3.17.09.This was an ideal finish to a good repeat workout for me,clearly something to build upon.

A week they say is a long time be it in politics,life,running whatever,this time last week I was preparing for my meet at The Armory hoping it'd be a springboard for me to relaunch my thus far spluttering indoor season,it in way it very much was....just not in the manner I had hoped,but it's that old adage of life's a journey,not a destination sometimes it's not about reaching your destination,it's how you get there.
