It's still cold here for our runs (a recurring theme of this blog). We had a group of five for our group run today and went 6-miles, again going out with the wind and back in against it. We had a good pace and stuck with it the entire run.

Mile 1: 8:28
Mile 2: 8:36
Mile 3: 8:27
Mile 4: 8:26
Mile 5: 8:31
Mile 6: 8:29

Today: 6.01 miles in 51:03 (8:29/mile)
This week: 24.57 miles

I was strong today. My goal for the race will be to run at about this pace for 10 miles, then try to push it for the last three miles. We'll see how that goes. Our milage ramps up the next three weeks, peaking with a 12-miler on May 2.
