Short progression run.

6:57 am, 27° F, 42% humidity, wind 5 E.

I failed to get out early this morning, but I didn't want to miss the run, so I went out and ran even though I was starting at the time I should have been finishing. Now my whole morning is running late, but oh well.

As I got started I decided to try to run just a little bit faster than I have been running lately. Eventually that formed into a goal to get the average pace for the whole run below 10:00 pace. It wasn't until I was finished that I realized that it had been a progression run.

Following my somewhat arbitrary standard of putting anything faster than 8:30 in the Fast miles bucket, I put my last 0.1 in there today.

AP: 9:44. Splits: 10:05, 9:47, 9:29, 0.1 @ 8:23.

You definitely crushed your goal to better a 10 min/mile. Way to go. And your dedication to get out there is really showing again. Congrats.

It gives me a sense of peace and calm, a feeling that all is right with the world, a knowledge that everything in the universe is as it should be, when I log on to FRB and see that you've posted another run.

Nice job!

When you start using words like "progression run" you are sooo back!

Gotta love an unknowing progression run! Nice work Carolyn.
