Speed Work - 5 x 1 mile repeats at Gibbons Park...

My hamstring is feeling a lot better than a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still not as strong in my right leg as I am in my left. Still just 9 days since the Corning Wineglass Marathon so John Ferguson said to just do 5 miles of repeats, and Brian said 6 -- but then went back to "See how you feel about doing 6 after you've done 5". I am playing hockey tonight, so I just kept it to 5 repeats. I ran a bunch of them with John DePutter, who is running well. Here are my splits:

7:13
7:16
7:10
7:05
7:16

For that last one, we were trying to slow it down a bit to 7:20 -- but couldn't do it. :-)

Average time was 7:12 and I was aiming for 7:15 per mile, so I'm happy with how it went.
