Really didn't want to get out of bed but it is the last day of nice weather for at least a week as we are having an artic blast come through which will drop temps by 20-30 degrees. I'm handling 40 degrees fine but it is not going to happen in the teens right now. Lots of treadmill the rest of the week. Calves are feeling it from Saturday but didn't hinder me today. That is what blew up on me in my half marathon so need to get them stronger.

Had the alarm set to beat the girls up and get most of the run done while they were asleep but they got up around 6. After getting sippies filled snuck downstairs and cranked out 8 miles. After a slow 2 mile warm up got down to averaging 6:45's. After the good sweat weighed in at 151.5. Have been steady at 154-155 Hope to drop down to 150ish by time the marathon goes down. Still trying to wrap my mind around just how long the marathon is...

Up at 5 not tired not sure why?! Decided to try a newer staple workout the treadmill tempo. 2 mile warm up nice and easy ~15:45 Then started at 7 min pace and increased the speed by 1/10th every half mile eventually getting down to sub 6 min pace for the last half mile. Goal was to stay relaxed for as long as possible listening to some Enya. Felt great through 5 didn't really start to work hard until about 6:18 pace at about 8 miles. Legs feeling recovered. I would love to get to where I can start at 6 min pace and work down to 5 min pace making a 10 mile tempo but not until late winter. Girls slept through the noise which is a plus.

Ran 70 min in a blizzard! We got 2 inches of snow took the girls they had a good time and stayed nice and toasty. The roads were pretty slick and without a lot of traction it was a pretty controlled effort.
