     This morning I ran 8 miles. I took most of it easy but then went down and back up the mile long hill on the highway and then in the last 2 miles I threw in a little fartlek with 1/4 mile at 6:20 to 6:30 pace then 1/4 back to around 8:20 pace 3 times just to see how running that pace felt. It's been such a long time since I/ve run that pace [about 3 months since my injury]  that it felt much faster than it was but felt good.

     This mornings run started out with a lot of rain and a nice headwind. Brought back memories of SGM except it was about 20 deg. colder [33] and  at the halfway point I got to turn around and make it a tailwind. It also changed to a wet snow halway through. Decided not to do the bike today.  It wasn't to bad though wearing a couple tech shirts and a fleece pullover I stayed comfortable. Went 6 miles and kept the pace very easy at 8:56 pace.

     It was 15 deg. this morning but the sun was coming up and it was calm so I ran in shorts which was a little chilly to start but after 3 miles I was glad I had and was sweating and had to take off my sweatshirt. Even though it was still cold It was nice with the sun shining. Everything felt good this morning so I picked up the pace a bit more than my runs the last couple weeks. I ran 10 miles. First 5 miles I ran at 7:51 pace. The last 5 at 7:03 pace. Overall pace 7:27. Temp  was up to a balmy 29 at the end.

     I played basketball this morning for 2 hours for the first time this season. I was planning to run afterward but my back was a little sore and I decided to play it safe and skip the run and take a rest day tomorrow.
