Lunch/PM: Flourtown Tempo Loop - averaged 7:43. HR 155.

4.5 up/4.5 down.

8-mile aerobic builder in a bit over 53 minutes (6:37 average). HR 166.

A beautiful day, sunny and around 50 degrees. Tempo was quite slow and I felt like I had zero turnover and my feet felt like they were jackhammering the pavement. I like to get around 6:30 or under for these but I just couldn't move my legs. It's a start.

Hey at least you had great weather! I'm dying for better weather out here, we're heading for another week of teens in the early morning when I'm out running!

It was pretty nice. Other than a light dusting and 22 inches that fell last weekend it hasn't been snowy and the temps have been pretty decent. And they plowed Forbidden Drive! It's a major environmentally protected area and typically they don't. Winter running has been great so far.
