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. 2:34:26 (7:43 avg)
