Jeep trail next door. Got out a few minutes before 7, which was several minutes before sunrise. 68 degrees, a bit cool, especially in the field.

With less than 5 hours sleep, and having been awake since 4 with a headache, wasn't sure it was a great idea to push myself to a hard workout, but that's what I did, and it felt great.

Thought I'd do two miles for a warm up and then 2 x Skyline hill, slowly enough to be sure I could do two. But after seeing the first very fast split, which came very easily, decided to accelerate a bit. I think the second lap may have been my fastest ever second lap (equal to 1-5-2018). So, from there decided I might as well make this two mile "warm up" the focus of the workout.

After finishing this, went straight down to run a Skyline hill, knowing I would do only one. Logging that below.

Splits are four 2 laps at a time, 0.4 mi:
443, 402, 346, 339, 327

Believe the last lap was the fastest ever as part of a steady run; once did 320 at the end of an interval workout [see 3-5-17]. That last lap was definitely beyond threshold pace.

It's been clear for some time that this jeep trail loop is more than 0.2 miles. Based on that last lap, I think it must be at least 0.22, maybe even 0.225.
