10/20 3x 1 KM @ 10K pace

 Out the door at 6am. Now leaving in full darkness, with a flashlight. Today started in the mid 30s, and the field was dusted with frost when I got there for striders. My legs didn't feel fresh, in part because I did a mild "double" yesterday (5K in the morning to drop off the car for service, 5K in the evening to pick it up). Running on the biketrail before dawn is almost like running down an unlit tunnel. It's pretty hard to gauge pace, so I just ran hard and figured it would be pretty close. First repeat in darkness, 2nd in twilight, 3rd in early morning light. Kind of nice how that worked out. Trail was a bit slippery with pine needles, but no accidents. 

3 x 1km @ 10K pace (~3:50, 6:10 pace), with 2 min jog recovery. 

3:52, 3:50, 3:49
