Have At It

"Her head is full of nonsense but she says her heart is true,fool for you
To play a game w/ you is all she really wants to do,it's easy w/ you
See those eyes,see those lies
Her aim is not to please,all she wants to do is tease,so cute for you"
See Those Eyes-Altered Images

C'mon now,you know the drill if it's Saturday I'm singing Karen Gillan's praises b4 settling in for the evening to watch ''Doctor Who"....all this after a workout.
For the second week in a row I opted for Temple's track for my repeats,after two weeks of mile repeats it was back to 5x1,000m and the hope I could improve on May 1 st:3.03.7-3.04.3-3.09.8-3.16.1-3.08.2.
Conditions were grey and overcast when I arrived at Temple just gone 10am,it wasn't till post repeats I realized how humid it was based on how drenched in sweat my bandanna and sleeveless running shirt were.
Mile warm up and stretches taken care of it was showtime....and if I say so myself,what a show!

#1,1,000m 1.13-1.15-34-3.02.9.Proof that May 1st's 3.03.7 wasn't a fluke or one off!
My target time was 1.15-1.18-34 so I was in the ballpark at least.
#2,1,000m 1.16-1.16-33-3.05.5.Now this is a pace I can life w/ and maybe a blueprint for future 1,000m repeats to come.
#3,1,000m 1.18-???-???-3.05.3.I got mildly spooked by the opening 1.18 so much so that at 700m I went into race mode and completely missed my 800m split which also means I have no idea what my closing 200m split was,more importantly however was my 3.05.3 time.
#4,1,000m 1.18-1.17-34-3.09.7.A far cry from the 3.16.1 on #4 three weeks ago,that's the difference of 131 plus miles in the last three weeks,could I do what had only been done once b4 5/5 sub 3.10?....
#5,1,000m 1.17-1.17-31-3.05.3.In a word.......YES!
For only the second time since I began 5x1,000m repeats in August{26th} all 5 at sub 3.10,however unlike November 26th:3.07.3-3.10.5-3.09.2-3.08.5-3.05.8.=15.39 today's 3.02.9-3.05.5-3.05-3-3.09-7-3.05.3.=15.26.

Clearly 6 months and many many miles later it's time to lower my sights on target times for 1,000s,3.05 seems about right,put 3 seconds on #1,take 3 seconds off #4 and you're looking at 4x3.05,1x3.06,the numbers don't lie and also how long b4 I go sub 3?
Since Tuesday didn't happen I have make up miles to take care of tomorrow,no worries as far as today and this week are concerned,job very much done.
