AM: Moved workout to afternoon due to ice and snow.

PM: 13 miles, averaged 7:23. HR 154.

10 x 1K w/ 35” Recoveries (3:46 average or 6:04 pace)

It took me longer to get out than planned, but I got the faster stuff in before it got dark. It was cold and the wind was bone chilling.

30’ up. Started a bit too slow and the first jog too fast. You just need to shuffle your feet. These ultra short recovery workouts are always strange. Tough to find rhythm. Felt pretty solid overall. Glad I got it in. I was starting to feel like skipping.

Cold and damp. 23 in the PM but with the humidity in the upper 50s and some wind the feels like temp was 14. Cold tomorrow too.

Pace felt quite easy. HR in upper 140s for 7:15-7:30 pace. Very cold again. Did a hot mile to finish in 5:44. It felt hard but not too hard. 

Headed to Toledo.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Out and back on the University of Toledo trail, which features miles 21-24 of the marathon. Flat but it will be seem like forever as it’s also straight.

PM: 4.1 miles, averaged 10:37. HR 119.

Went back out just a few hours later with Megan after I did some light grading.
