Overall Average Pace: 10:20
Conditions:
- 29 degrees
- Wind WNW 9 mph
- Rain, freezing rain
- Snow

Thoughts:
- This was the first day in two weeks that I did not take any Advil or Tynenol before running. My left knee was a tad sore, but nothing to hinder my performance.
- The weather conditions changed rapidly. They went from safe to unsafe to marginally safe. I ran on the grass at mile 3 because the sidewalks were ice covered. At mile 4, I was able to run on pavement which was not as slick.
- I had hoped to run 8 or 9 miles, but felt fortunate to mangage 7.5 without falling.

Thoughts:
- My left knee is very bothersome at night. I wake up with pain and stiffness.
- My first mile was difficult. I took Tynelnol to ease the discomfort. Everything felt better around mile 3. My friend just had an MRI. He has 3 stress fractures around his knee. My mind is spinning!

Thoughts:
- Again, it took close to 3 miles before I felt ready to run. I feel heavy and continue to experience moderate knee stiffness

- My 15 minute and 10 minute portion of the run were not that difficult. My fastest pace was a lot for me to maintain

- 18 miles easy - if you feel good at the 14-mile mark you can speed up a bit in the last 4 miles
- Strength and mobility exercises immediately following the run
Overall Average Pace: 10:00
Conditions:
- 28°
- Wind SSW 5 mph
- Snow showers started just as I entered the house! I HATE Winter!
Splits:
- 2 mi - 10:20 / 4 mi - 10:03 / 6 mi - 9:45 / 8 mi - 9:58 / 10 mi - 10:35 / 12 mi - 9:56 / 14 mi - 9:59 / 16 mi - 9:27 / 18:02 mi - 10:02
Thoughts:
- I set my Garmin to only speak to me at each 5 mile marker. This really helped my mental capacity to stay on pace and not fall apart toward the end of my run.
- I also tried to consume a lot more nutrition earlier in my running. I think that this really helped me not bonk before I reached 18 miles.
- On the downside, I took 4 Tynelol and 3 Advil during the course of the run to alleivate the dull knee discomfort.
- Overall, I was pleased with my performance.
