During my run today I decided to give myself a little time trial. \u00a0Since the last five or so months have been marked by inconsistent training segments, I have been wondering what is my current level of fitness. \u00a0So, when my legs felt good today at the beginning of my run, \u00a0I decided I would turn it into a one mile time trial. \u00a0I had warmed up and done leg drills indoors and had layered plenty for the Run. After a mile jog, I ran six stright-aways as I gradually delayered. \u00a0I set out with a goal of breaking 10:00 for the mile. \u00a0Early on my watch was reading closer to 8:00, which kind of shocked me. \u00a0I don’t believe I have \u00a0run anything close to that in months. \u00a0So I settled down and \u00a0held a \u00a0steady pace \u00a0for the next \u00a0minutes. \u00a0It was quite windy throughout. \u00a0 I would judge my perceived effort to be 75 \/80%. \u00a0 The final time for the mile was 9:08! \u00a0 I was pleasantly surprised. \u00a0The total workout covered \u00a04.33 miles and took 1 hour. \u00a0The forecasts suggest that this will be the last of the very nice winter training days for a while as temperatures will be dropping into the twenties for the foreseeable future. \u00a0I am glad to have gotten this indicator today.<\/p>\n
