It was too cold and icy for an outside workout. I ran at the Y. I felt good, there were few others on the track, so I decided to push hard from the start. It worked.

Mile 1 pace: 9:38 min/mile
Mile 2 pace: 9:42 min/mile
Mile 3 pace: 9:08 min/mile
.1 mile "sprint" to the finish: 7:14 min/mile
Total time: 29:11
Overall average pace: 9:25

The first mile was my fastest by far, however, that got me quite winded going into the 2nd mile. I had a hard time finding my best sustainable pace and ended up getting a slower time. I found my max pace going into the 3rd mile and pushed hard to the end. Now I just have to do this twice back-to-back. That wouldn't have happened today. I have more work to do. Still, I'm quite happy with today's time. I'm getting faster slowly but surely.

Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be nicer. The plan is for some uphill running and perhaps some HIIT sprints at the school track.
