Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

Progression run.

7:06 am, 59° F, 62% humidity, wind 2 NNE.

Carly moved our Saturday Highline Canal Trail meeting time up to 7:00, which is good. I like to sleep in on Saturdays, but it's good to get up and get the run done relatively early while it's cool and shady on the trail. Carly brought two friends today, so there were four of us running together. We did 5 miles together and then I did three more on my own. I'm calling this a progression run because I sped up after I left the group and got progressively faster until the end of the run, with the last mile qualifying for my "fast mile" designation.

AP: 8:59. Splits: 9:35, 9:04, 9:19, 9:03, 9:08, 8:47, 8:41, 8:18.

Nice work Carolyn! I'm glad you got to sleep in a bit as well. Love your progression runs, I wish I could do more of them!

What great splits! (envy)

Very nice workout. I think it is great when the END of your run is fast, super practice for racing!

I like to sleep in on Sundays! I WISH I could sleep in every day.

Have you not just LOVED this weather??? It is hard to believe we are being so blessed in August. August is usually the month I dread running because even when you leave at 5 am for a long run you BAKE by the time you finish.

Great job today!

Sounds like great weather to run in!

Always nice to end a run after getting faster each mile, rather than the other way around :)
