5.2 miles hard

Attempted a few fast miles in the evening to see what kind of shape I might be in for the National Relays on Saturday. I made it to the junction of Maryhill Road and Cowal Road inside 12 minutes, and to Dorchester Avenue inside 15, so was well on course for a route PB. I eased off very slightly after that as I still had some leg tightness, but finished in 31:55. The distance came out this time at 5.25 miles although I was again having some GPS problems so the true distance is probably slightly less. Average pace as measured was 6:05/mile.
