AM: 7.9 - Yep that's right... the Haynes' Classic Training Run.  Trails were more than a bit icy though so I think I'll let this one be it for a few weeks yet.  Tonight I might try out my old 8 mile loop that I used almost every non-long, non-workout day for my first marathon.  No matter how bad I did on that (3:17:23 walk-running the last 3 miles) the loop is still dear to me. 

PM: 8.15 - Did the old marathon training course.  It was pretty nice at sunset giving me nice views over the river and over downtown providence at different parts.  Not too bad.

PM: 7.75 including 3x2x400,200 with 200m between reps and 600m between sets.  The 200s were meant to be only a tiny bit faster than the 400s so we went 72, 36, 73, 34, 72, 34, 70, 33, 71, 33, 70, 33.  Recovery was long compared to what I am used to but we kept the 200s to under 90 seconds and the 600s to under 4 min which is almost full recovery except when you are running during it.  Nice controlled speed workout.  Only pushed the last 400 a bit because with 100 to go I thought we would hit 69 but we missed it by .18 darn.
