8-Mile MAF Test

Got outside for some fresh air. I was going to get on the road bike, but it was still a bit chilly and snow and ice was present in places on the tempo loop, so this was the right decision and I got my long run in for the week. I started out slow, and I knew my pace @ 139-140 BPM would be slow, but I didn't expect 9:20-9:30, but that is where it was and then it dropped quite dramatically without any change in effort, so my moodiness of the opening miles was eclipsed and I had a good run. Longest run in a while, and longest run outside this year. 

Averaged ~9:08. HR 139/140

Lunch: 30' sauna. HR 105.
