It feels oh so glorious to finish a long week with only 8 miles! I did a happy dance after my workout. This morning was the threshold. It was freezing cold when we started. We ran about 2.5 warm up before starting. I had 2 goals for the camp threshold this year- stick with the lead group and average 6 flat pace. Fortunately, we actually started at the right place and it was 2.9 miles long. We eased into it which helped. My first mile was 6:10 and then the lead group started to pull away. There were 6 of us in a group all pushing- the second mile was 6 flat. One girl dropped before the finish, but 5 of us finished in a line with a time of 17:24 and average 6 flat. Score. It felt amazing to have girls to push with and work with. I really hope we can keep that up this season- it will make a world of difference.
