| Got outside today and was hoping to push it a tad. It was low 30's and a few snow flurries here and there. Winds were 15-25, so it felt quite brisk. I put on shorts, gloves, hat, and a couple layers. Started with a .5 warm-up and knew it would be a challenge today- felt a bit sluggish (holiday eating). Decided to do the dreaded "Pie Hill" course and break it into managable segments. Started with a 3-mile tempo (7:21,7:02,6:47). Jogged a mile and then moved into a second 3-mile tempo (7:13,7:06,6:39), jogged a mile and decided to go for a 3rd tempo (7:01,7:08,6:40). Jogged the rest of the way for 13.6 miles total. Hope to become more consistent mid-week and up the mileage a bit to gradually get back into a marathon mode. |

| Went to the gym and did a TM workout: 2-mile warm-up and then 6 miles at threshold pace (6:27,6:27,6:22,6:22,6:18,6:18). The last two made me uncomfortable which is good...I've been needing to push myself just a bit more. By the time I was done it looked as though I had jumped into a swimming pool. The fellow next in line said, "Holy ****!" Anyway, changed clothes and did 20-minutes of legwork and feel good about the workout. |

27 degrees out- decided to bundle waist up and go w/shorts. Kept an 8:20 pace for 9miles and then slowed down for the final one- 10 total. I have completely lost endurance, not having run more than 13 or 14 miles in one shot since October. |
