It was a lovely morning. 37 degrees. I wore capris and a light long sleeved shirt, and was perfectly warm. I felt some fatigue from Saturday, but in general felt pretty good. 7:22 average.

I missed yesterday. I planned on a workout midmorning. Myles came down with a cough, so I couldn't take him to daycare or leave him with a sitter. So, I did yesterday's workout today. I'm still working on extending my tempo run. I did the 6:45, 6:30, 6:15, 6:00 workout. I was aiming for twelve miles, but ended up 11. I will push up to twelve next time. Warm up and cooldown gave me two more miles. I sure wish I could get my drive back. It's been a blah winter running wise. I wrote a blog post on the reasons that I run. running4dream.blogspot.com.

Treadmill day. Progression run. I started at 8.0 mph and bumped up every half mile. I also added in 12 x 1 minute pushes. Every five minutes I ran hard, starting at 10 mph and increasing the pace .1 every interval. So, I finished with my regular pace at 9.6 mph, and my sprint pace 11.1 mph. Tough workout! 9.14 miles in one hour.

Enjoyable long run with Jenny. We ran a newish route out 700 west to Bulion, wound up ro 1300 w to 7000S, to 2700w, to 5400 S, through the neighborhood, back to 4800 S to Vine, and through Murray Park. I felt much better than during last week's long run. 7:17 average. I'm excited to help Jenny train for her marathon.
