8.5 total miles this morning. I ran the first 4 at 7:52 pace. I'm planning to run a 5k a week from Saturday and since I haven't done anything faster than 1/2 marathon pace for a while, I decided I had better do something to get my legs moving a little quicker so I did the next 4 miles of fartlek with 4x1/4 miles fast with 1/4 slower between then 2x1/2 fast with 1/2 slower. Followed by another 1/2 mile cooldown. I ran the faster parts between 5:50 and 6:00 ave pace/mile and the slower parts around 7:45 ave pace. 6:52 overall pace for last 4.5 miles and 7:21 overall ave pace/mile for 8.5.

Nice day today. I ran up past the reservoir today and saw the loons for the first time this year.They come back every spring and hearing their eerie calls make it feel more like spring even though we're still hitting low 20s every morning. 9 miles at 8:25 AP

Nice morning for a run. It started cold again but the sun quickly warmed things and it was calm. Just did another 8 miles at a comfortable pace. Everything is feeling pretty good. It seems like I come away from most marathons with some lingering issue but so far so good.

Ran on the track today for the first time since probably last summer some time. I ran a 4 mile warmup at 7:50 ave then 5x1000. The first 4 were all 3:54 and the last was in 3:50 with 1 lap recovery at about 8:30 pace. This pace seemed to feel harder than it should have. Hopefully it will feel a little easier next week. Ave pace for 8.5 miles was 7:17.

Went for an easy 8 miles in the middle of the day. I think it was the warmest day this year at 70 deg. It felt like 85. I'm not used to that at all. 8:27 AP.
