Got out this morning and ran the warmup w/James. We chatted some on running and such, then he continued on, while I got my flats on. Sean gave me instructions to shoot for my goal 5k pace for this weekend of 5-flat. I didn't have a ton of confidence, although it's not like my legs felt tired, or taxed or anything like that. I focused on being smooth with each one. The first one was very hard, for some reason. The 2nd, I out loud told myself it wasn't about hammering it, it was about being smooth. The 3rd one was fast, but I really tried to say even. I didn't, as I fell off. 1/4-mile 1:12, 1/2-mile 2:28, 3/4-mile 3:44, mile 4:59. didn't really stay even, but was happy to get one of them under 5:00. We'll see if I can put all 3 of those together withOUT the 3-minute rest in between.

Shuffled through a cool down mile, and headed home to get to work. More miles in the evening.
