6.1 in 38 minutes, averaged 6:16 for the run.

Biggest reason for the fast average was that I started out with 2 5:23 miles, for a total of 10:46. Not bad at all. Good even splits too. I have a habit of starting off pretty fast if I don't stop myself, and I got to the track averaging that pace and decided to hold on until I got to 2 miles.

Maybe I can run under 17:00. Not counting on it, but today I got to 5k in 18 minutes and I took my 3rd mile easy. If it's a fast course, who knows? I'm sure I could run 3 miles in under 17:00 right now.

Lifted and then ran for a little on the tread mill, it's really snowy and icy outside so running out wasn't going to happen today. I was wearing sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt so I didn't run long.

Ran part of the way from the psych building to the gym. My Achilles was feeling a bit vulnerable so I decided against running. It's been in the low 20s this week, hopefully Utah is a bit warmer while I'm there. Hopefully all this snow melts soon.

Ran at a pretty quick pace to the pscyh building, jogged back.

Cold and windy, but the least cold and windy it's been since last week.

I ran to the track and did some laps backwards, and then some laps the other way. I ran a few quick laps in 77 and 78. I was aiming for 80.

I then ran to the rec center and ran 2 miles on the treadmill because my hat wasn't keeping my head warm enough and I was getting a headache. I ran 5:27 pace for a little over a mile. Overall today's run took 46 minutes and I averaged 6:24 per mile. I don't know if I'm sick or just having asthma but my lungs and throat have been pretty messed up the past few days.

Solid run.
