7:15 pace, ran around St Paul campus and Roseville. Frankly, I'm surprised it was that fast. It was one of those Mondays after a snow where you come back to an area you had slogged through earlier and it got plowed during the 20 minutes you were gone. 

Today's run was surprisingly comfortable- the cold didn't feel very cold, and I really can't complain about the job they did taking care of the snow on my route. 6:47 pace, east river road. 

6:55 pace, Boom island. 

6:54 pace, east river flats. 

6:59 pace, Como classic winter route. Felt very spring-y. It stayed so warm last night that most of the melted snow didn't refreeze and there was little ice to deal with. I know it'll get cold again but I am going to enjoy each nice day. 

6:04 pace. This was the second time I think I've run more than 10 miles on St A parkway. I looped around the golf course, up Resevoir blvd, and then looped around Silverwood park.

6:48 pace, Como classic winter (via Hendon). It is interesting how as it gets warmer you dress lighter, and end up feeling just as cold as you were when it was 30 degrees colder. Still, it's nice when your movement feels less constricted. 

6:45 pace, east river road. 

7:05 pace, east river flats. Knee hurt a bit today. 

6:44 pace, Roseville route

Approximately 6:50 pace, west river north. After running in the Supernovas for a few straight weeks, the Hurricanes felt very clunky. 

6:10 pace, Res woods to McCarrons lake. For being nearly 30 degrees when I started, it wasn't the best run. There was lots of ice from the freeze thaw cycle so thankfully as it was a Saturday morning I was able to safely run a lot of it on the roads as opposed to sidewalks. The air was kind of dirty, and you could see an actual haze at times. To shake things up on the way back I did 6x1 minute on, 1 minute off. Knee hurt a bit. 

Today was definitely fast, although I don't know if it was really the 6:33 pace that I calculated for west river road. There was very little interruption due to the ice, which was nice. Very warm outside; I got to run in shorts and never felt cold at all. 

6:36 pace, east river road. Shorts day again. Knee started hurting at about 20 minutes in, although it backed off thereafter.

Rainy and windy morning. I tried to do the real Como classic for the first time in months, but the soft surface trail was a total slip and slide. Not bothering to get my exact pace. 

Treadmill day. It was warm out so I thought about running outside, but that probably would have been a mess. Apparently we got almost 8 inches. 

6:53 pace, west river north. Apparently we got upwards of 8 inches of snow by yesterday morning, but the roads and paths were really clear. It's nice to run in clean air and clean snow. 

6:01 pace, east river road. I did a 54321 workout on the way back. It was good to pass the time as I ran into the wind and also because I am out of shape of course. The wind came decently strong and was very cold on my way home, so my thawing experience was quite painful today. Slightly faster going out than coming back.

6:44 pace, St. A parkway. Sunny and cold, like 3 degrees this morning. But I was dressed for it so I felt fine. 

East to Como lake. I was already running fast so I decided to do one segment fast. It ended up being 1.06 miles at 5:11 pace. YIKES. 6:32 pace overall. 

6:51 pace, although it felt slow. Boom island. 

6:42 pace, west river road. 

6:47 pace, Cleveland ave.

Just under 6 flat pace. East on Como, all the way into Villa park. On the way back, I did 5 x 3 minutes on, 1 minute off.
