Long run on treadmill, longest run on the treadmill and it was horrible and boring.  The Hangover made it a little better.  Total time 63::30 (pace 7:55).  Hopefully the roads will be  a little cleaner for next weeks long run

 So, I've had a change of plans and I'm not going to be able to do the National Half-Marathon at the end of March for previously unrecognized reasons.  Mostly due to the travel involved.  I'm pretty sure I'm switching to Around the Bay 30k in Hamilton the same weekend with a super goal of 2:15.  Chances are pretty good I'll actually register and run it.  We'll see.

Ran 2 really sloppy miles outside.  Pace was (8:10) but effort was a lot more.

Did not get a chance to run at school so I did my Tempo run on the treadmill.  My tempo runs are getting easier and I'm pretty confident about my 5k in a week.  Aiming for sub 7 min miles as a good goal and sub 21 as an ultimate goal.  Iced my shin afterward, the shin splint is holding steady

1 mile warm up (8:15)
2 mile tempo (7:00)
1 mile cool down (8:00)
