Takin' The Good W/ The Bad

First up let me state there was no need to enlist the help of A.S.P.C.A.after this evenings repeats,I say this because frankly after I got done Mondays in and out 400s my tendon was hurting me to the point where I was having kittens!!!
The simple fact was wearing flats was w/ hindsight a tad premature so in order to keep my tendon sweet and Franklin Field kitten free no more flats for the foreseeable future.

After my mile warm up and stretches it was time to get after it,after my week 1 spectacular second half collapse and week 2 return to mile repeat respectability this evening I was looking to build upon that.
Mile#1,1.16.to open and it felt effortless,always a good sign.
2.36.at 800m, a 1.20.split.
3.53.at the bell, a 1.17.split,this was shaping up for a fast opener.
5.08.89.thanks to a final lap of 1.15.,my fastest mile repeat over 4x1 to date.

Mile#2,1.18.to open,predictably a tad slower off of such a brisk mile to open.
2.40.at 800m, a 1.22.split,so much for today being the day to elliminate plus 1.20 splits,an opening mile of 5.08.89. will do that.
4.02.at the bell,another 1.22.split.
5.19.47.w/ a 1.17.lap to close,at least I was under 5.20.

Mile#3,1.22.to open,I kind of knew what to expect from this mile already.
2.47.at 800m a 1.25.split,not unexpected but not welcomed either.
4.10.at the bell,a 1.23.split,it was slow but at least I wasn't mailing it in.
5.25.81.off of a 1.15. final lap,if I could've lowered my splits on laps 2 and 3 I might've gone under 5.20.

Mile#4,1.17.to open,in almost three years of mile repeats I've told myself countless times"open the final mile w/ as strong an opening lap as you can"and you set the tone....
2.39.at 800m,a 1.22.split,ergo the need to open strong.
4.02.at the bell,a1.23.split,shades off mile#2
5.12.55.off of a 70 second final lap.

Overall I can't be too upset opening in 5.08.89.and closing in 5.12.55.,now I just need to lower my middle two mile repeats......no kittens were born during this workout!!!
