Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
12.24	0.00	12.24

Okay this started out as a 4 miler than as I got to the mile at 9:00 thinking truly that it was like a 10 to 1030 pace I was like I guess I feel better than I thought so I just picked it up from there and decided to loop here and there as the high winds and pelting snow began to fall around 2.5 miles. Woman VS. Wild. I was determined to be stronger than the storm and I truly felt really strong even with the head and side winds up hill I had a pace of 8:11. By the end of my 6.7 mile run it was torrential. Pace 7:55 for average. I thought why am I stopping. I did for thirty minutes and thought why not go out and see what its like to break 60 miles in a week. The snow had stopped the wind was still fierce and the temp had dropped and my sweat had already cooled me but again I was not going to let that stop me. I just kept winding here and there picking up the pace feeling again very strong. Last mileage was 5.54 miles with average of 7:49. Total miles 12.24 @ 7:52 pace. Worked last night slept four hours from 730am to 1130 am. Work tonight. Big turkey dinner happening at my house tomorrow with my mom, sister and her husband and 7 kids. So much for a day of rest. I think I made 60 miles here goes the submit button to see, cross fingers : D>

YAY! Almost 61 miles. Should have done one more stride for 0.03! :)

AWESOME WOMAN beating out the WILD! That snow storm was funky wild! You're TOUGH!

Have a fun turkey dinner. I get to do a b'day dinner for my mother-in-law and hubby tomorrow (13 people, mostly hungry young men!). But I don't have to work tonight. You're amazing!
