Threshold Run - 2 miles easy, 4 miles @ half-marathon pace, 2 miles easy. 5:04 am, 34° F, 76% humidity, wind 5 SSE, clear sky with a waning crescent moon. I wouldn't normally wear the trail shoes for a run like this, but I wanted to see whether I could run fast in those shoes because I've been feeling like they've been slowing me down and I'm trying to decide whether to wear them for my race on Saturday. I think I've been running slowly in them up until now because I was wearing them on easy days. I think they did okay today and I'll probably wear them on Saturday. AP: 8:36. Splits: 9:28, 9:09, 8:05, 8:01, 8:10 (big long hill), 7:40 (hooray - I'm past the hill), 9:15, 9:03. I saw Team Michelle out running when I was leaving the school after the seminary drop-off.
