      Ran 10 miles this morning. Went up around the reservoir again but there was more exposed gravel to run on than last week.  Kept the pace easy again. 8:39 AP

     20 deg, calm, and snowing this morning. Ran 8.5 miles on snow all the way. Since running on snow slows your pace a lot, I didn't look at my Garmin at all during the run and just kept an easy comfortable pace. 9:13 AP

     Didn't get out until about 9 PM. Temp was 22 deg. I thought I might get some help from the mostly full moon that's been out the past few nights, but it didn't come out until after I was done so it was a pitch black run except for the lights from 2 dairies and an occasional house. I wanted to get in a 6 mile tempo run. I ran a 3 mile warmup averaging 7:30 pace.  Then I picked up the pace and ran the next 6 miles at 6:49 ave. This was a second slower than my marathon average pace a little over 2 months ago but it felt too hard to finish a half mar right now. I'm planning on running a half in 5 1/2 weeks so hopefully I can get some fitness back before then. I'd like to get my 1/2 MP back down around 6:30.
