PM- Big Workout.  Figured I would be alone, but Cody surprised me by saying he was going to run in the afternoon.  Weather was about 38 deg, slight breeze, slight drizzle the whole time- just enough so we didn't get too cold or wet- pretty good, actually.  We did the North Logan hill loop.  5 mile warmup at 7 min pace, then 7 mile tinman tempo (goal of 6:15 pace). 

Mile 1 is downhill, 2 is up, 3 is all gradual uphill, 4 is rolling, 5 is slight down, 6 and 7 are fairly downhill.  Splits were 5:59, 6:29, 6:24, 6:12, 6:11, 5:54, 5:53.  I didn't feel great the first 3 miles and pretty much ran 2-5 meters behind Cody (though the same pace).  Felt better mile 4, then stopped for a potty break.  I felt very good mile 5-7- didn't really feel too tired by the end.  I wasn't watching the splits as we ran, but am pleased, especially with mile 6 (I never would have guessed it was that fast).  6:09 avg for the workout, faster than planned.  Felt good, esp. the second half of the workout and esp. given my hard workout Tuesday.  This is the first good week I have had this year in terms of workouts.  If the long run on Saturday is decent, this will easily be the best week of the year so far.  2 miles cooldown- 14 miles, 1:33:35, 6:41 avg for the run.

Congrats. I'm happy things are moving in the right direction for you and that you are even exceeding your goals.

Nice workout! Looks like this rain and snow is finally going to leave us for a while.
