Radda run. I showed up ten minutes early and ran a mile on my own before connecting with the group. A handful of us opted for a modified Mansion tour. We started a 3 mile tempo at mile 4 into the run. However, the first mile crossed the field of an elementary school and involved much trudging through snow for a quarter mile, so the split was 7:25. (I really can only count that mile as .5 of tempo considering we couldn't really run hard). Then two miles in earnest along the wandering hills of Wander Lane, 6:11 and 6:07. These times are fine for this time of year on these rollers. I would like to get down to an even 6 minutes though. Lisa Madsen was about 45 seconds behind me, looking strong. |
