Baamoral to Lucan - 4.5 Miles: 36.59

I ran from home to the office today. The temperature was about 18 degrees C (I'm guessing). Here are my splits:

8:14
8:15
8:15
8:10
8:13 (1/2 mile)

It felt like a pretty good run. Obviously tough on the uphill segments (which was about half of the run).

Overall, the pace was 8:13. Not terrible, not great. But my goal is to get this well under 8 minutes per mile by the time I hit Ragnar Relay Vegas (Baby!).

7 x 1 mile repeats

I forgot to save my splits tonight. But we were working at the UWO 400 m. track doing our 1 mile repeats. To the best of my knowledge, here are my splits:

7:12
7:11
7:10
6:58
7:12
7:35
7:28

This is pretty close, anyhow. I started out working for 7:20/miles, so I'm reasonably happy with how I did. But I know I have to get better as the training progresses.
