6.03 miles @ 8:40/mile in 52:15.  Local Loops done at 11:18am

4.52 Marathon Pace miles. 

0.60  VO2M Miles

0.91 Easy Miles.

Active 42:15 for 5.14 miles.

Rest 10:00 for 0.90 miles.

10x100 with 1:00 Recovery.

The Warm-Up: Going for 9:00/mile.  I ran 4.11 miles at 8:32/mile.  I don't look at the watch at all and of course am surprised that Marathon Pace miles are done...I could not put together an 8:09 yesterday for the Tempo Run (attempt), and I am running 8:32/miles for this warm-up! 

The Cool-Down: I ran the 0.41 miles @ 8:30/mile.

The goal was 10x100s @ 6:00-6:39/mile.  I did seven of the splits @ 5:47-5:58/mile!  There was a 6:02, 6:04 and 6:08 also.  I ran these amazingly fast today…The last time I ran 10x100s, I averaged 6:15/mile. The first time, 7 of the splits were at or slightly better than 6:39/mile and three over 6:39 mile.  I have gotten better running these...typically 34 very fast turnover Right Steps does it.

It is clear I am running these at the VDOT 42 Training Pace and it is not impossible to do so. 

Not the best performance yesterday and yet stellar performance today.

BY THE WAY: Snowing at the end of the run.  CT SNOWFALL IN OCTOBER.  Last time this happened was 1952!

Nice weather there. Good run, too, way to hold on in the snow.

Flatlander,

Thanks. The snow was not too bad at the tail end...got worse after I finished the run.
