I missed yesterday again. Dang it! Teren is working on a huge project at work and didn't get home until late. I had planned to go when he got home from work, but it was too late. So, I get to make up mileage with some longer days. At least 55 miles isn't that much. It is doable.

I ran a threshold run today. My goal was to improve on last week's threshold run. I warmed up for 3 miles and then ran a 30 minute tempo. I got 5.17 miles in during the 30 minutes. Then, I cooled down until I hit 10 miles.

Mile 1: 6:03

Mile 2: 5:51

Mile 3: 5:47

Mile 4: 5:43

Mile 5: 5:37 29:03 for 5 miles 30:00 for 5.17

The total time for 10 miles was 63:43

Thanks, Michelle. I think it's a lot easier on the treadmill than if I was out in the cold trying to run this pace. It's easier when the treadmill is pulling you along rather than trying to hold a pace yourself. Plus, there are no hills. I guarantee if I put the incline at 1.5 percent, I would have a much harder time. I'm planning on running a 5k in a couple weeks. Then we'll see what I can really do. Thanks for the support!
