Workout Summary:

Mileage: 5 miles
Time: 56 minutes

Route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=450575

Notes: This was a team practice in Central Park. Weather was a little overcast and even felt a few sprinkles. The goal of the run today was pacing. The instructions were to go out, warm up, hit an easy stride then at 59th Street (about 3.2 miles into the 5 mile run) pick up the pace and see how much energy you have left to run hard for the remaining 1.8 miles.

Little tip here in case you want to try this at home: Don't spend the first 3 miles yapping to your teammate about your lousy day. I made this mistake and by the time I was going hard during the last 1.8, my teammate had run off a good minute or so ahead of me.
