Easy Miles	Threshold Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Track speed mileage	Hill mileage	Total

I warmed up three miles and ran 5 x 5 minutes on/3 minutes off. They were mostly 5:30-5:40 pace, with the first set at 5:42 pace, and the last one under 5:30. I feel good in this range. Under 5:30 starts to feel hard. I could probably use a few turn-over workouts to get my paces down a bit more. I cooled down a mile and a half to give myself 10 for the day.

Good progression of workouts lately Emily.

What are you thinking for this spring? Wait a while longer before jumping into any races?

I'm starting to get a little antsy to race, but I'll probably get another month of training in first. My workouts are coming along well, but I still need to get more consistent with mileage. I do need to make a racing plan soon!

I bet you are getting antsy - you are clearly in very good shape right now. But you'd definitely be wise to keep getting stronger for a little bit longer - and hopefully that will help keep you from dealing with the nagging injuries this year.

Nice speedwork, Emily. Here's to an injury 2012!

I am sure she means injury-free 2012 :D

Nice job!
