Started my half-training for the National Marathon (goal 1:30, 6:52 miles).  Ran 2 miles on the treadmill (8:05 miles).  Was gonna run outside but it snowed about 5 inches today and I figured it'd be a sloppy mess.  My training plan is below, any comments appreciated.  Paces are as follow:  base pace is 8:05, easy 8:40, brisk 7:30 and tempo is like 7ish.  A 5k pace for intervals is 6:20 and 6:40 for 10k pace.

Had my tempo run today and I didn't want to do it on the treamill or outside so I went to the University to run it on their inside track.  It's 6 laps to a mile and has nice carpet.

1mile warm up (8:06 pace)
1.5 mile tempo (7:03 pace)
0.5 mile break (8:30 pace)
0.5 mile tempo (7:03 pace)
0.5 mile cool down (8:30 pace)
Total: 4 miles

Cross Training day!  Went snowboarding for 4 hours.  I haven't been in a year or so and had a bunch of fun.  Nice pack powder conditions as well!

Did my long run today, 8 miles total (7:54 pace).  Ran 2 miles and then picked up Ralphie and ran the last 6 with him.  Felt good but I wish horrible things on people who don't shovel their sidewalk.  Paces are below.  You can tell when I was running on poorly shoveled sidewalks vs. the road based on the pace.
