AM - 4.5 easy before work.

PM -  9 miles on the treadmill - workout of 2 mile warm-up then 6 x 1000 at 6:40 pace with a 600 rest at 7:13 pace; 1 mile cool down.  Similar to last week's workout but I increased the length of the "on" rep from 800 to 1000 and reduced the rest rep from 800 to 600.  Surprisingly more challenging.  Pretty spent at the end of the day; need to do some easy running the remainder of the week.  15k Race on Saturday.
