Today's 5 felt like a marathon. It was very cold, 5 degrees with winchill at -15 to -20. Wore the bavaclava but that gave me some problems. Anyways, I think i over dressed because while I was indeed warm, i sweat a ton--not good in the freezing cold. Completely exhausted by the end of just the 5 miles...cant wait for winter to be done. Splits:

1- 7:17.4

2- 7:19.0

3- 7:25.0 (22:01, 7:20 pace)

4- 7:24.0

5- 7:27.4

TOTAL-- 36:52, 7:22 avg. pace

Fartlek today. 3 min on, 2 min off, did 5 sets of that and then did around 2 min on for the last one so that I could get a decent cool down for the last part of the 5 miles. estimated 2.75 hard miles.

Mile repeats today. First repeats of the year. Actually did pretty well, was hoping for them all to be around 6 flat and all were below. A pretty nice day, around 30 degrees with light winds. Was actually able to focus on running for once instead of the weather. Did 3 repeats with 3-3:15 break between each. Here is each mile split:

1- 5:57.6

2- 5:55.4

3- 5:57.9

Overall, very even repeats. I felt pretty good during them, although at this point in my fitness, 5:55's felt pretty maxed out effort wise. Nice to know that by this summer, i should be hitting 5:20s with the same perceived effort.
