Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
7.65	0.00	8.00	0.60	16.25

Got IT! Took down the elusive segment this morning. crushed it by over 3 seconds. Drove over to the neighborhood, warmed up for 20 minutes with strides and really went for it. Honestly didn't feel like the hardest I have run it... 3.73 miles total there. 0.57 mi. - 2:57 Pretty decent vertical ascent at the beginnig of the segment/

Hopped in car and headed on over to Mill Race to start the workout: 5mi. TH, 6x0.5mi. Tough to hang at the end of the 5miles - feeling some nasty acid reflux coming up the throat, and effort level pretty high. 0.5 mile reps were simialr (strong to start, but, hanging on to finish) 12.51 miles total - 1:26

No sooner did I get home and log on do I see that a high schooler has gone and taken down another segment that I had the crown on close to the elusive one I just crushed. LOL. Now, I'll I have to go back and get taht one again... :)

I wish there was a way to remove the "bikers" from the running segments. I apparently will need to cruise now 2:30/miles
