I took advantage of Teren being home to do a threshold run at Liberty Park.  The park was busy this morning.  There was a 5k run/walk going on, so I did a lot of people dodging.  

I warmed up 3 miles.  Rob Murphy was doing a long run on the loop, so I ran a lap with him.  I ran a 5 mile tempo run.  My goal pace was 6:20 per mile.  I need to work on my pacing.  I ran 6:01, 6:02, 6:13,6:18,and 6:07.  Total time:  30:42.  I went out a bit too fast.  I will try to stay more consistent next time.  I never quite seemed to find my rhythm.  Still, 6:08 overall average makes me happy.  Now if I can only do that for 21 more miles . . .

I cooled down with Bill and a few of the East High kids who ran the race.  Then, as an added bonus, I went home with a loaf of bread, a package of bagels, and donuts.  There was a bread company giving away their goods at the race.  It was a nice bonus for my morning run!

We're on the same schedule today.

Nice workout. It's a little hard to get into a rhythm out there when it's so crowded don't you think? Lots of zig-zagging around walkers and joggers -especially today.
