I was not running In the snow this morning the wind was blowing it sideways and I just didn't have it in me. So, I waited until after work and decide to get her done:) I noticed that I only needed 9 more miles to get 200 miles for the month so I went for that. I ran the Payson Park loop and then headed up to the new payson swimming poll which is my 4 mile mark, and then I headed for home. When I got home I did a mile loop around my house to get in the 9 miles... I wanted to do a 3 mile progression run and I wanted my last mile to be my best and those miles went as follows; 8:00(146), 7:53(154), 7:18(160) I felt pretty good about that last mile and I had done a lot of hills on this route and those tempo miles were towards the end, so very pleased with that part of the run... I did a 3 mile warm up at a 8:30 average and then cooled down with 3 miles at slightly faster pace, so my average pace was 8:11 with my heart rate average at 150 and total time was 1:14:12... I will now start to taper for the race on Saturday and hope for the weather to warm up I have had enough of the snow and cold!
See Ya Tomorrow
