Threshold Run. 2 miles easy, 10 min. @ half-marathon pace, 5 min. easy, 10 min.@ 10K pace, 2 miles easy. Average pace: 9:03. 4:58 am, 61°F, 49% humidity, wind 7 S. I thought about skipping the run today but I couldn't really justify it, so I ran. The first threshold interval was hard because it was the 3rd mile of my route plus a little more, and the 3rd mile of that particular route is the hardest. In any case, my average pace for that 10 minutes was 8:04. I was shooting for 8:00, so it was pretty close. I was shooting for 7:45 pace for the second threshold interval, but I didn't hit it. I got 7:56 instead. I had to modify my route a bit from what I had planned, because with about 45 seconds to go in the 2nd interval, I got to where I would need to wait for a light, but I didn't want to stop at that point, so I turned the corner instead and had to improvise the rest of the route. I was about a mile from home at that point, but I needed to run for 2 miles, so I wandered around the neighborhood. I saw a news truck setting up across the street from the middle school, but I didn't get a good look at the van and didn't see what channel it was. I wonder what they're reporting on. After the run, I did the shred level 1. I didn't have to drive to seminary today. Shaggy skipped seminary because he had a bloody nose and had to spend a long time controlling it. I'll probably work from home again today.
