This morning I had 3 x 1600m intervals, with 600m runs in between. I set my interval plan in Endomondo and figured I would be good to go. Get out at 4:45, almost no clouds, beautiful sky, get GPS fast right? Yea no. I waited. Then I started jogging, resetting the app, my GPS, etc. After two miles of running while looking at my phone, I couldn't wait any longer.
I knew my goal time per book at 6:05ish per mile. The first mile I could use my known mile markers. Hit my mark at 6:04. After that, I went by time, did 3:30 run, 6:30 hard. This gives me space in case I faded to make sure I hit my times, or if I did go fast enough, whats an extra 20 meters or whatever it is right? Total run: 2 miles warm up, intervals, 3 mile cool down - 9 miles.
Here is a photo from the start of the run:

I got high fives from Erin and Kelsey today! That was pretty awesome!
Not so awesome - the gnats! Not horrendous, but they attacked me in some areas.
And one last pic for you:
Have a great day!
