faster with age

     Warm temps with a very light snow falling. I went 8 miles with 3 1/2 on pavement and the rest on a little under an inch of fresh snow. The footing wasn't too bad and made for a nice run. Very quiet and peaceful. I started out quite slow and picked it up a little as I went and tried not to get slowed to much on the snow. AP 7:46.

     Just a nice easy 6 mile run with about half on snow. 

     Went for 15 miles on my mt bike this morning. I haven't done that too much this winter. It was mostly on snow that was warm and slushy yesterday but frozen this morning. That made it slow going but it was nice to get out on the bike anyway.

     Another slow easy run partly on snow that was more like frozen slush. I went 6 at 8:17 pace with 3 or 4 short pickups near the end. I've kept the last 4 weeks pretty easy with mileage in the 20s. I'm going to still keep the pace mostly easy and gradually add more miles.

     Nice sunny afternoon for a run. The temp was still a little below freezing but it felt warm with the sun. I did a 6 mile progression run going  8:14, 7:39, and 7:18 in the first 3 miles and 6:43, 6:37 and 6:26 for the last 3. Last 3 miles felt hard. Especially the last mile although 7:18 felt pretty good.

     Didn't get out until after dark. Went for 6 miles. It was crisp and cold [about 15 deg] with a nice bright 1/2 moon. Just kept it easy and relaxed.
