9AM, 36F, cloudy and no wind. I went for a long run. It was cold but after a couple of miles I felt much better. I kept a constant pace that was on average 7:46. There was a point around mile 11 that I started to feel tired but then I pulled myself up and finished strong. I was happy about this run.

4PM. Did a tempo run today. It was 45F and just a bit windy. I was suppose to do 5M tempo so I went to a place were there is 1.65M loop and did it 3 times (=4.95M which is close enough to 5M). The loop times were 11:49, 11:47, 11:50 which are all about 7:10 pace which is exactly what I wanted it to be. Did a little over 1 mile warm up before and the same distance as cool down.
