Nice early morning run in the pitch black darkness.  Thanks, Daylight Savings.  Such a stupid concept.  They need to get rid of it.    Otherwise, it's nice to have marginally warmer mornings.  7:29 average.

Such beautiful  running weather!   It's nice to not be freezing.  A kind fellow runner stopped and warned me about a shady guy walking about a quarter  mile down the road.  I altered my route to avoid a possible  confrontation.   I love that runners look out for each other.  7:36 average.

Six miles easy in Valley Park.  It was so nice being able to wear shorts and a tshirt.  It was pitch black outside, though.  I hate the dark.  I keep telling myself that in a couple of months it won't be so bad.  7:40 average.  

9 AM:  Total Body Conditioning class.  Gotta keep the strength work going!

One of my children stole my garmin. So,.I just ran with my watch today. I decided to incorporate my speed workout into my long run tomorrow. It was another beautiful morning. I ran two miles longer than I had originally planned. Now to go on a housewide search for my garmin.

Headed to the gym for St. Patrick's Day Zumba.

Easy running  for forty minutes, followed by 3 x 5-3-2 minute intervals with 3-2-1 minute recoveries.  I did two sets unmeasured,but changed up the third set.  On set 3, I  ran a hard mile, recovered 2 minutes, ran 3 minutes hard, recovered to 12 miles (about .2 miles) and then ran the thirteenth mile all out, Finished with  a moderate mile.  Mile 11 was a 6:03, Mile 12 was 6:36, Mile 13 was a 5:40, and the final mile was a 6:36.  (The 5:40 was on a downhill stretch, so not as exciting as it sounds. )  6:55 average.

Follower my run with Body Pump class.
