Mid forties felt so warm!   I am going to enjoy it since it is back to 15 degree mornings soon.

Treadmill workout.  20 minute warm up.  10 x 2 minutes on/ off. Then I sat by the wall staring into space instead of doing core work.  I'm such a serious athlete.

Ran by myself today and pushed into threshold the last four miles of the run.  Last three all sub 7:00.  7:17 average for 12.  Woohoo to a 50 mile week.

Figured it would be warmer outside today than tomorrow or Thursday so saving gym day for tomorrow.  SLCC loop backwards to be crazy and mix it up.  I am overdue for a cutback week but I would like to try to hit 200 miles this month.  Which means I need to keep my mileage a little higher with only 28 days in the month.

Holiday weekend. It was nice to run later in the morning.  I am going to have to work a bit to hit 200 for the month of February, but I just passed 300 miles for the year. I am on a decent trajectory.

15 minute warm up.  2 x10 minute 2x5 minute threshold.  Cooldown to 1hour.  Sometimes I wonder if I really focused on training for a year if I could break 3:00 in the marathon

Ugh. It was way too slippery, especially in the dark. I had to abort mission before I got hurt. I might try to go after my work meetings later, but I don't think I will really have time.

I had a drop in motivation at the end of the week.  Trying not to let it derail me.  I need some nice weather soon!!

I had a voice lesson at 9 pm yesterday.  Which resulted in serious insomnia.
