AM - Hilly Long Run w/ 15mi. AT (slower end of spectrum - about 7:05-7:20).  Out and back around Grandview.  Moderate effort - stayed within AT zone most of the run.  Really nice to run in the sunshine, and no real heat, yet.  Comfortable temps and the usual Indiana windiness.

Drive up to Purdue for Road School.  Hotel room at Holiday Inn this year.  A good 1.3 mile walk across the River to campus for classes.  Made that trip a couple of times walking.

PM run with Nathan around campus + to/from hotel.  Weather is nasty - windy and wintry mix in the cold.  8.6 mi. - 1:08:41

AM - One of last big LR workouts before Carmel, 3/31.  16mi. MP - 1:46:57

Perfect temps - 35-40 degrees, a bit windy, and slightly overcast in Columbus. 

6:41 average and some 6:30's thrown in there is still a bit more than AT effort and not sustainable for much more than 16mi-18mi.  Looking like I should dial it in for a 6:45-6:50 strict pace limit in 3 weeks.
