I ran the same loop I did yesterday, but I did a two mile warmup then 5 miles of aerobic builder/tempo then 1.25 miles of cool down.  This was the best workout I have had in a long, long time.

Aerobic Builder/Tempo:

Total Time:  28:24

AP:  5:41

Miles:  5:34, 5:42, 5:48, 5:40, 5:40  

The first 1.5 was slightly downhill and the last 2 were slightly uphill.  My goal was to average 5:50 so I was well under my goal pace.

Great workout Steve. We missed you this morning. Pumped to see you training hard again!

It would have been nice to run part of it with you guys, but I had to been into work early this morning. It was probably better anyway to do it on my own because I really need to be careful about not jumping into things too fast.

Well we were just 5:37 average for the first 5 today. Next week! You're in better shape than you think. All that residual base you have.

Nice work Steve! You will be rocking and rolling again in no time!
