     Ran 9 miles this morning slow. I didn't have much energy the first half of the run. I felt better after 5 miles but still kept it slow.

     Did the same 9 mile run again this morning but felt a lot better than yesterday. Still kept the pace pretty easy and threw in a few short striders during the last couple of miles. AP 8:22.

     Went for a 4 mile run. It was 22 deg with the wind blowing very hard. The first 1/2 mile was directly into the wind on slick snow pack. The wind was blowing so hard that with the poor footing I was over 10 minute pace. It wasn't as bad on the pavement but still slow when running into the wind. I was planning a bike ride but lost motivation with that much wind.

Ran 12 miles this morning at averaging 8:08 pace. By the time I ran the temp was up to 14 deg which is warmer than a lot of my runs but there was a bit of fog in the air which caused me to wind up with major frost on the goatee and eyelashes. That is my longest run since the marathon and everything seemed to feel good.
