I had plenty left in the tank after last week’s 4x1mi, so I added a 5th today and bumped up the effort a little. About 1 mi warmup, 0.25 mi between repeats and 1 mi cool down. I tried to plan the route to hit flat sections for the intervals, but it didn’t quite work. I ended up trying to keep my pace up on the hills, which meant pushing harder. I’ll figure out a good route eventually.  Nothing I could do about the wind picking up, blowing in my face on the last one.
First time in a long time that I felt a little nauseated at the end of a run. Just fine after having the 2nd half of the smoothie I had beforehand.
