First Yasso Of The Year

Did my first set of Yasso this training season this morning, and my average time came out to be 3 minutes 36.5 seconds for each half mile.  Last year I was able to run it in 3 minutes and 35 seconds, and my marathon time was about 11 minutes slower than predicted (3 hours and 46 minutes).  However, I have to be pretty happy with today’s time since I was running with chest congestion (the pre-run albuterol treatment helped greatly with the asthma).  I have another set of Yasso’s coming up in a few weeks, and we’ll see if I can run faster than 3 mins and 35 seconds.  This way if I tack on 11 minutes, I should hopefully qualify.
