I am progressive!?

Nicely bundled on this 55* day, I headed out to the cinder track to try another workout. I began with a half mile walk and a half mile jog, and then some stretching.  I have decided to discontinue the use of active stretching drills as part of warm up for a while.  I have come to suspect that the uniqueness of these drills is not accepted kindly by my legs. My goal was to run three progressive miles with a one minute rest between each effort.  The miles were; 11:15,  10:13  and  9:27. I did not attempt any pickups along the way although I was tempted as my body was responding and warming up nicely. However, being only a month away from my race at Nationals, I am proceeding with great deliberation. Fortunately there were no aches in my hamstring or in my left foot during this work out. All-in-all, I consider this a step forward and a very positive workout.
