8:AM 30F cold but it got warmer as I ran. I ran to the American Tobacco Trail which I didn't do for a while. The pace was 7:45 on average and I didn't feel I am pushing myself.

Lunch time run. From my office to the trail, did a long loop and back to my office. Pushed the pace a bit (7:33). It was 71F, crazy.

10:30AM, 48F cloudy and some light wind. I headed for the tracks for some speed work. Did 1 mile warm up at 7:53. Then I did 3 times 1 mile repeats (6:53, 6:51, 6:50) with 0.5 mile jog in between and at the end another cool down mile. 6 miles over all. I felt good and strong. The miles themselves were hard labor but not impossible.
