Nine miles with Jenny back and forth on the JRT. My longest run so far. We ran it in 1:07:20.  My body really seems to lock in at 7:30 pace.  I felt a little tired from Saturday's run, and could definitely feel the last mile.  But, I'm almost to a double digit run, so that's exciting!  It helps to have someone to talk to on the run.

I ran a tempo workout today.  I warmed up for 15 minutes, and then ran 10 minutes at 6:40 pace, with 3 minutes recovery.  Then, I ran 2 x 5 minutes, at 6:30 and 6:20 pace with 2 minutes recovery in between.  To finish, I ran 5 x 1 minute on/off.  I cooled down until I hit 8.5 miles.  Total time: 60:04.

PM:  Teren came home early from work!  (YAAYY!!!) so I went to the club and took a Zumba class.  I felt extra clumsy tonight.

I woke up to a rain/snowstorm, so decided to hit the treadmill.  I ran an hour progressive run, starting at 8 minute miles, and increasing the pace .1 every half mile.  I finished at 6:30 pace.    Last week was so nice.  I'm not happy to see the return of winter.  Hopefully, it is short-lived.

I ran my Costco loop today.  I ran with no watch, and tried to take it easy.  I had originally planned a fartlek workout today, but yesterday's progression run  left me sore this morning.  A workout was probably not needed. 

It snowed for about two blocks and then stopped.

I met Chelsea on the river trail for a cold, snowy run.  Actually, it wasn't too cold, but the trail was really icy.  So, it wasn't the fastest run in the world.  The sun came out after the turn-around point, and melted the ice.  The footing was much better the second half of the run.  We still averaged under 8 minute miles, which isn't bad for a snowy run.  I'm glad I went and didn't wuss out and end up on the treadmill.
