I'm really trying to get back on track but I've been frustrated by my inconsistancy over the last 4 weeks or so.

2x600 rep pace (goal 2:00) with 600 recovery

3x300 accelerations (goal <600) with 300 recovery
2 mile CD

300's in 58,56,57

 Not really as bad as I thought it was going to be so maybe I didn't lose too much while lazing around the last month

7 miles at night before bed.  Felt super beat so I did it as an easy paced run at 8:15 miles

Long run before dinner.  Felt ok  but my right ITB was acting up. Gotta watch it to make sure it doesn't get bad.  Wanted to run the loops at the cemetary but got there too late. Average pace was around 7:37 which is impressed me
