30 minutes

I did 6 900-meter loops at Eastlake. I was just trying to go as I felt. I started at 5:06, then for the next four, I did 4:55ish, or 8:45 mile pace. It felt pretty good. Then the last one I eased up in 5:09. It was 30 minutes for 3.35 miles, or about 8:55 average.

This was a good week -- 3 days of running -- prior to the Wapello 5K on Saturday. I did some good quality work and good volume for mid-week. Then today I got as pleasant surprise after running. I stepped on the scale and it said 185. I want to get into the 170s before the start of school.

I looked at the McMillan calculator and 23:30 looked about right for what I think I can run right now. We'll see. I guess that would be my prediction.

I have 12.3 miles so far in three runs.
