6.50	4.00	0.00	0.00	10.50

AM: 10.5 miles from Scott's house with Mike, Spencer, and Scott. Warmed-up 4 miles. Then, did 4 mile tempo at 5:31 average. Did mainly low 5:30's and did the last one in 5:22. Quite a headwind. Felt extremely good, easy, and relaxed. I tweaked my hamstring a bit at the race on Saturday, so I've intentionally waited until that improved to do speed this week. It's not fully better, but it's improving. I felt like I could have kept up that tempo pace all day. The only reason I cut it to 4 miles was just to be careful with the hamstring. Wonderful to feel so good after not feeling good at all on Saturday. Scott did some tempo with pick-ups. He looks great and is ready for a great 5k on Saturday.

Nice tempo Matt. It's good to see your legs are recovered from Saturday. Keep up the good work.

Awesome workout Matt! Glad to hear you are feeling good.

I'm glad you had the confidence / intelligence to wait 4+ days after the race before hitting it harder again. Smart move.

Thanks guys. Just taking after you Jake (resting for a few days after the race).

Nice tempo, Matt. Good move to wait before doing anything harder. Sensible too, to keep it at 4 miles with the hamster nibbling away atcha.
