I keep forgetting how challenging it is to stay consistent in the winter months. It is nearly impossible to find a safe place in my area for jogging in the dark (poorly lit, just enough traffic and lack of sidewalks/shoulder on the roads), so I have to be creative to find a window of daylight in my schedule (can't just get up early or go after work). Anyway, got up early and noticed there was too little daylight and too much traffic. Ran a strong TM workout in the basement- 2 miles warm-up and then 6 miles as threshold pace (6:27,6:22,6:18,6:15,6:10,6:00). Felt as though I made the best of it for today!
Ran 5 more on the TM this evening @ mp: 7:03,6:58,6:53,6:48,6:44. |

Couldn't get out before dark, so yet another workout on the TM. 2 mile warm-up, 4-miles @ mp (6:53,6:48,6:45,6:39) and then 1 mile cooldown. |

| Finally got outdoors and decided to keep a slow mp. It was fairly hilly, yet I was able to keep a 7:24 pace for 8 miles and then jogged the final two slowly. The splits look a little off, but it's due to the rolling hills- I made sure not to go any slower than 7:50 pace and no faster than 6:50 pace- 7:40,7:23,7:39,7:11,7:37,7:03,7:30,7:07- miles 8 and 9 were on trails and then I slowly trotted in for mile 10. Presently, I don't think I can run much further than a half marathon- need to start working in a weekly long run. |

| Did a TM run at the gym...since it was a bit warm and I was doing a threshold run, my area was quite a mess. In fact, a young woman paused for 20 seconds at the machine next to me probably trying to figure out if she wanted to risk a rain storm, and when I looked down towards her (on mile 7 of my run) she gave a look like "you are disgusting"- can't blame her because I was. 2 mile warm-up and then 6 @ tp (6:27,6:22,6:18,6:15,6:10,6:00). Did 20min weights after changing clothes. | |
