I decided to start running in the mornings now as that fits better into my schedule. Of course, the day I do it, the roads are all covered in ice. It rained all day yesterday and froze overnight. I had a VERY hard time keeping my footing and pushing off. That said, I do enjoy running first thing and getting it done. That way it isn't overlooked if something comes up during the day.
I was feeling fine from the Race on Sat so I decided to do a tempo workout. I ran 2 miles as a warmup (7:14, 7:06) and then set out to do 5 6:30 miles. I did fine considering the conditions of the road. (6:32, 6:30, 6:31, 6:30, 6:34) I then finished out the loop with some easy miles around 7:30 pace. I ran a new loop out to Young Ward to the River Trail and home. Flat but quiet.
