Today we did wmups, form mile, then did a mile warmup and started the 80%. We did 3.5 lps on the track, then went out on the road up to Home Depot where we finished. It i just over miles. I looked back to the last time we did it and it was shorter because we didn't run as long on the track. This time around I hit 21:32, 7:00 pace. It is all uphill and it was really windy today and we were going against the wind, so that made it difficult. Last time I averaged 7:06 and I believe the conditions were good, and I feel like I worked hard today. So I am happy with it. I maybe would have stuck on the front pack if I were to do it again, I was iffy about it this time because I didn't want to go out too fast and crash but I think if I could have kept up with the group I could have gone faster. My first mile was 5:44, then we hit the uphill and it slowed us down. But I'm satisfied with what I did and will just use it as a learning experience for the next time we do it. Afterward whistle hills on the hill by Chevron (the dirt hill ind Home Depot was now a mud hill).
