Tempo-ish Run

Today I had planned to do hills, but opted instead to do a 1-mile break, 1-mile interval/tempo run. I did this last year for the 1/2 marathon (3-mile intervals), and I decided to bag the hills because my friend said that the NYC JP Morgan course isn't very hilly. So I did 1 mile warmup, 1 mile sub-seven, 5 minutes of easy jogging, 1 mile sub-seven and 1 mile cooldown - good for ~4.5 miles. The intervals felt very challenging. However, the workout was easier than what I've done in the past (either 3x1mile or 3 mile tempos).

After 2 days, my mileage is up to 14. I'll probably try and swim tonight, bike tomorrow and long run Friday.
