     Ran 12 miles this morning. I started out with pretty good weather. It had been raining earlier but had quit. For the second run in a row a stiff wind started to come up just before my turnaround point. Of course when I turned back I had a direct headwind. The route I had taken made it so that 5 out of my last 6 miles were into the wind. It seemed to get stronger with each mile [20 + MPH]. I started getting some rain added to it in the last mile. The 8 minute guy was quickly gaining on me all the way back and I barely held him off at the end and finished with 7:58 overall pace. There was a clap of thunder just as I was getting back to the house and then the rain really came down. I made it just in time.

     The snow has finally stopped and the sun has been shining the past couple of days. The temp has only been 19 and 23 deg the past two mornings but it has been warming up nicely during the day. I went 9 miles total this morning. I averaged 7:52 pace for the first 4 miles then did a fartlek run over the next 5 miles with 2 x 1/4 mi  then 4 x 1/2 miles all with recoveries of equal distance. Averaged 5:55 pace on the faster parts and 7:25 on the recoveries for an overall ave of 6:40 pace for the last 5 miles.

      7:13 overall ave pace for 9 miles.
