I met with the group at 5:45 at Parkway Palisades. One of these weeks I'm going to make the 5:15 group, but I'm not quite ready for that yet. Peggy had us do 3 approximately 2 mile runs. I must need a lot of time to warm-up, because the first two I was struggling, feeling uncomfortable, having trouble keeping up. By the third, I fit right in, felt good, stayed up with everyone. I was sure they had slowed down for that one, but Peggy said she thought they were running about the same pace. Here is the info from each run:
1- Time: 17:43; Distance 1.98 miles; avg. pace 8:56; best 6:53
2- Time: 16:40; Distance 1.71 miles; avg. pace 9:45; best 7:29
3- Time: 16:35; Distance 1.95 miles; avg. pace 8:29; best 7:13
It was a fun workout.
