Today was a threshold workout day, but toned down a bit due to my race this weekend. I ran 4x1 mile repeats with a target pace between 5:32-5:37 per mile. I wasn't really in the mood for the workout, but I figured I would just get it done. My splits are listed below.

Mile  Time  Comment
 1  5:09  oops, way too fast
 2  5:25  a bit slower
 3  5:18  still too fast
 4  5:23 I can't slow down...

I went waaay to fast. I don't really know why, though. I didn't feel like I was exerting myself too hard, but apparently I was moving quicker than I thought. Oh well, not a big deal. I ran 4x200 meters at the end at (31,32,31,32) and did some easy miles. Pretty good workout.

Your threshold is probably around 5:20.

Are you running for the Buffs? I went to college just down the hill from you guys, at School of Mines.

Thats the goal in the fall. With some luck I am hoping to make it on the team! I feel that I can compete with most of the runners, but who knows what will happen :) Mines, nice. I know a couple of people on the team. They seem pretty strong. When did you run for them?

Graduated in 2002, so it was a while ago. My last year was the first year they were starting to get good.
