Monday: 6 miles at 6:40 pace
This was a morning run before school. I felt really good and went three miles longer than expected.

RACE DAY! I ran the 5K in 15:41. I didn't feel too great, my legs felt heavy, and it was pretty humid

This was an easy morning run.
Saturday: 10 miles at 6:10 pace
I ran a 10-minute tempo at 5:05 pace, then did 4x400 at 62 seconds with 2:15 go's -- about 1:15 rest -- then a 5-minute tempo. I just ended up running a mile at 5:03.
