This piece was much better than my last 5000m hard piece.   The goal split was for 2:10 this time around.  My splits are much closer together than they were for the previous 5k.  That's good.  Consistency.  I did start to feel a little nauseous in the last 1000m.  Not so fun, but I held it together.

If I keep dropping 2 seconds a week in the 5k, it'll be 4 weeks until I'll be about to pull a 20 minute 5k again.  To get back to where I was (where a 20 minute 5k was just a sold piece and only 1/3 of a workout) it'll probably be another 4 weeks.  I figure if I can pull a 1:54 split for a 5k, that'll be around where I was.  That's a 19 minute 5k.  If I can pull a 1:54 5k, can a pull a 1:45 2k?

This piece was done in the morning after 5 hours of sleep.
