When I checked the tempature outside and it said 6 degrees I decided it would be a good idea to hit the treadmill this morning, I had a hard time simulating my pace when I am actually out on the road, but after some tinkering I was able to find a pace that was comfortable for me in regaurds to my heart rate and I went with that.  It averaged out to be about an 8:50 mile pace with a total time of 52:23, my leg felt good not much pain at all it would just get a little stiff as the run got  towards the end.

I hope it its warmer tomorrow morning than it was today, it was hard to stay focused on the treadmill, anything above 15 degrees and I'm good to go ouside so lets hope for some cloud cover or a warm front...

See ya Tomorrow.

Teens are definitely better than single digits. Even better are teens in the sunlight. What a concept!

Isn't that amazing what a difference a couple of degrees makes in respect to running....
