Progression Run - 12 miles w/ last 20 min. moderate. 7:30 am, 44-50° F, 40% humidity, wind 2 SSW, sunny. It felt kind of chilly at the beginning of this run but then it warmed up a little bit and was perfect running weather. Both Michelles as well as Carly and Nicole ran today. Carly and Nicole did 5 miles, but the two Michelles did the full 12. I split off from them after 9.5 miles and picked up my pace. I was surprised by how soon after I finished they both finished. They both picked up the pace as well. Michelle #1 finished just a minute or two behind me and was running strong at the end, and Michelle #2 was just about a minute later and was also running hard at the end. My splits were 10:06, 9:49, 9:45, 9:39, 9:26, 9:55, 9:48, 9:59, 9:59, then 9:57 pace for a half mile, and then 8:01 pace for the last 2.5 miles (20 minutes and 5 seconds). My husband and I have to drive up to Greeley this afternoon to see our oldest son in a concert with the Western States Honor Orchestra.
