Smooth

Since "reinventing the wheel" is NOT on my bucket list I figured I'd stick w/ the basics,the tried and tested 4x1 mile repeats as well as my 4x400m/Decathletes mile as prep for 5th Avenue Mile.
My biggest issue heading over to Temple's Geasey Field post work was access to the track....no worries and w/ a bit of luck i could be golden untill the Fall semester begins which I think is Sept 2nd which would be ideal as I only need use of the track on a week day untill then anyway so fingers crossed.

Arrived at the track by 3.45pm,pretty much had it to myself again which always suits yours truly,also working in my favour was the weather,an unseasonably cool low 80 degrees for late July #hellyeahthatworks.
Mile warm up b4 launching into the repeats,last time out over 4x1 mile I bombed w/ a:
5.25.7-5.36.0-5.43.3-5.41.4 so there really could be only one direction today right?

#1 mile
1.18-1.22-1.23-1.17=5.20.1
Well if I was looking to send myself a message on the opener this more than qualified,at this stage of the season I was confident I hadn't shot my load like I had earlier in the season

#2 mile
1.20-1.24-1.23-1.14=5.21.9
Clearly #1 wasn't a one off as I continued to obilterate my June 28th efforts

#3 mile
1.22-1.25-1.25-1.18=5.30.0
Granted I was  losing a few seconds per lap but still keeping it competitive.

#4 mile
1.23-1.25-1.24-1.14=5.26.2
Another 1.14 closing final lap,the days of closing in the low 60s are from a bygone era but I'll take 74 at my age!

All in all a good solid,consistent.....smooth workout,since the phrase "comparing apples to oranges" applies to this workout and June 28ths lets go back to June 7th and today
5.19.4-5.23.3-5.29.5-5.29.0
5.20.1-5.21.9-5.30.0-5.26.2
A plus/minus of two seconds faster this time out,let's see what I can do next time out
