Feeling like a runner again

I had a good long quality workout on the track this morning and with the warm up and cool down I totaled 10.5 miles. Which makes it one of the longest workouts I've done in a while. The weather was nice (a little breezy but not bad) and I am finally feeling like a runner again.

After my standard 2 mile warm up I did 4 miles on the track at 86-90% of my HR, a 400m jog, 1 mile @ 86-90% of my max HR, 400m jog, and 1 mile @ 86-90% of my max HR.

I ran the 4 mile threshold run in 27:50 (6:54-7:01-6:55-6:59) and my average HR was 89% of my max (172 bpm) and then my mile reps were 6:53 and 6:59 with my average HR at 88% and 87%, respectively. I finished it off with a 2 mile cool down on the roads.

All in all it was a good workout.
