We got more snow over night (just 2") that was just enough to be a problem.  I wanted to make sure I got my long run in outside so I went into Indy and ran on the Monon Trail this morning.  It was 25 with some light wind but was nice on the trail.  There was a lot of people out today which helped pass the time better.  I started off running the first 8 miles with Josh.  We ran easy around 8:15 pace.  After he turned around I picked it up and ran the next 7 miles closer to 7:30 pace.  I was feeling good so picked it up some more and ran the last 5 miles in 7:17, 7:22, 7:01, 6:54, 6:40.  It was nice to have the strong finish and gave me some confidence to get a 20 miler in outside and to feel good afterward.  It would be nice to have some nice weather to see how things are really progressing.

Great long run! And nice job finishing so strong at the end. Looks like you're right on track to meet your goals.
