Nice day out (30 degrees/sunny), ventured outside by myself for the first 12.5 miles...started with 1 mile warm-up, then ran 10 miles firmly, and closed with 1.5 miles "cooldown"- ran 6 of the miles as a mp tempo (hilly- 7:10, 7:23, 7:49, 7:26, 7:46, 7:13)- 12.5 miles total.  Got home and changed into dry clothing, ate 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter and 2 waters and then was off again with my wife...

Ran 7 miles with my wife at an easy pace, 4-5 of them through snowy trails.  Did 19.5 total for the day.

Ventured outdoors today...it was just above freezing with a bit of a strong breeze.  Did a 3 mile "warm-up" at about 9:50 pace, wasn't feeling all that "springy", yet decided to get an extended "tempo" run anyway.  Ran 7 miles at a firm pace (6:47, 7:07, 6:56...now the hills...7:37, 7:47, 7:34, 6:53).  I was way too conservative on mile 6 of the "tempo" (it was all downhill), but I was just trying to regain my legs from the previous 3 miles.  Closed with 3.1 mile jog at about a 9:30 pace- 13.1 miles total.  Did legs at the gym- 20 min.
