First off, I am happy with the workout because this was a day where everything about getting ready and getting going was slow and dragged out trying to talk myself into going. No MOTIVATION.. (at first). 

Got to track did mile warmup and I was jogging I tried to figure out what I could handle tonight. Then I said wrong attitude and tried to see what I could challenge myself to do. Came up with goal as 5x1 mile all right around 6. First mile ran 6:01 then I had crazy though why don't I give myself only a minutes rest while making sure I run a 200 (8:00 pace). So i do that run a 6:00 mile and do the same rest finish with a 6:02 mile. By this time I realized I was going to do 2 sets of 3x1 mile goal 6 minutes with 1 minute recovery at 200m. After third mile take a 2:30 break and back with a 6:03, 6:00, and 5:53. This set I let myself go 1:05 for first rest 1:10 second rest. Really felt good after the workout that I could do this workout on little sleep and little to no motivation.

Fantastic workout! It's kind of fun when your legs get stuck at your goal pace. Especially for a big workout. Nice work!
