Threshold Run 2 miles easy 2 x 10 min. @ half-marathon pace w/2-min. active recovery 3 miles easy 6:31 am, 53-57° F, 50% humidity, wind 1 SW, sunny. I have no idea what my half-marathon pace is and I figure if I ran a half-marathon right now I wouldn't be very fast. So I decided to shoot for about 9:00 pace on the two 10 min. at 1/2M pace portions. I ran the first one, which was mostly uphill, a little slower than that, and the 2nd one, which was mostly downhill, a little faster than that. The worse mile was the first of the 3 easy miles at the end. That mile had a lot of uphill and I slowed way down for it. There were no day laborers at the garden center today. I guess the job got done last week. There's nothing else really to say about this run. AP: 9:45. Splits: 10:26, 10:21, 10 min. (1.09 miles) @ 9:11, 2 min. (0.2 miles) @ 10:06, 10 min. (1.15 miles) @ 8:43, 10:10, 9:51, 9:32.
