New route. Happy Hollow Hill route - 9 miles, averaged 7:53 with two marathon-paced miles coming back that were really aided but couldn't figure out how else to run down the hill. Got a bit lost, but that is always fun. First day in tights this year. Cold.

Old Standby variation - 6 miles, averaged 8:08 + 6 x 100m strides. Got my average under 20 seconds (19.6-7) and still felt very in control

Vinton Woods loop w/ an extra loop around Courtland - 10.5 miles, averaged 7:25 w/ 8 mile MP tempo. Well, Tinman tempo, but for us slow folks I think they are about the same anyway. Splits: 7:07, 7:18, 7:21, 7:06, 7:04, 7:06, 6:59, 6:58 (7:07 average).

The last 2 or so were downhill. No idea what happened on 2 and 3 because the first 4 or 5 miles were on pretty much the same loop. Wasn't really feeling it today, but I got my workout in and feel good, so that's what matters.

Wabash Trail from Davis Ferry - 6.3 miles in just over an hour. Very muddy. Slipping and sliding around. Fun, but I need some legitimate trail shoes for this.

Randomish loop that will need a name because I like it and will rotate it in for my medium longs more often - 13.25 miles, averaged 7:20

Kind of an fluctuating tempo (purposefully, more or less) or wave run: 2 miles easy + 3 miles steady (7:25, 7:33, 7:27) + 3 marathon starting easy (7:20, 7:07, 7:07)  + 2 half marathon starting easy (6:46, 6:34) + 1 marathon pace mile (7:15) + 1 fast marathon/slow half marathon (6:47) +  1 more steady (7:25) + .25 easy

Rain tomorrow so I was glad to get this in. Wasn't really looking to push the pace, but today's tragedy has me a bit lost.
