The last day of January, woohoo!!! Lets all hope for warmer temperatures in February... I ran out past mini GU corner to the red brick house next to the BYU farm and then turned and headed back to the house. I did some 800 meter tempos, 4 to be exact, and they were all in the 7:05 to 7:15 range pace wise so I counted those 4 miles as marathon pace miles. I felt really good this morning my toe was a little sore when I started out but felt better as I got warmed up. I had a new PR on this course time wise, I am usually around 62 to 63 minutes for this route but today my total time was 58:07 and my average pace was 8:18, with my heart rate average at 148. I was real happy with the run today, I even felt like I could have ran a couple a more miles and that is usually a good sign for me. I hope I am getting close to breaking through another wall and as the temperatures warm I hope for less aches and pains!!! I also did the standard 80 push-ups in sets between the crunches on the rubber ball for core strength, still no leg strength training maybe on Saturday after my long run...

See ya tomorrow
