 A little rainy and windy out and I have a slight cold, so wimped out and did a TM workout.  Honestly, I'm not sure if some of these TM workouts are as effective as running outdoor, but my times just keep improving- 5 weeks ago I struggled to hold a 6:30 pace for 5 miles and today I easily held a 6:22 pace for 9miles.  In fact, I could have gone longer if the mat wasn't getting dangerously slippery from perspiration.  Hopefully my indoor improvement will continue to translate to outdoor improvement.  Also, happy to have a solid workout today after having run a 20-miler on Saturday.  Total:  11 miles and I'll count the 9 miles as marathon pace because I think the 6:22 feels closer to 6:40-45 for an outdoor run.
