     It was a nice day today. Finally feels like spring. I went for 13 miles starting out averaging 8:10 for the first 4 miles then 7:39 ave for next 9 including the last MP mile at 6:52. Had good energy and felt no leftover fatigue from Saturdays race. I felt like I pushed  harder Sat than the race the week before. My average heart rate was 172 at last Saturdays race compared to 167 the week before. My best 5ks in the past my ave HR has been 174-175.

     7:49 AP

     15 mile run. The temp was nice at about 44 deg but there was a 20 mph wind blowing. It ended up being a tailwind all the way out so I got to fight the head wind all the way back. It got especially bad the last 4 miles. I was tough just to keep a 9 min pace and I would get hit with gusts that would almost stop me. It really beat me up and the last couple miles were really tough. Very glad to be done.

     8:18 ave pace.
