Ran after making the kids some supper.  Got out at 7PM in my tights and heaviest longsleeve.  It was a little breezy but actually comfortable after a few minutes.  I felt great.  I guess my cold is over enough to get back at it.  I couldn't push it cause I couldn't see the uneven sidewalk too well. 

Ave pace 7:17

Ran at lunch in between meetings.  Not as many miles as I wanted but normally I telework on Tuesdays and can fit in a few more...I was supposed to meet Kristian at the track this morning, but work won out :)

It is a pretty day.  Sunny, around 50, and light winds.  Actually I guess it is almost perfect weather today. 

I got in 5.25 at 7:08 per mile average.

Ran after work and after getting the kids some supper.  I actually felt good.  The weather was in the mid 50s with a light wind.  It was great running weather. 

 7:12 ave.

I went out feeling yucky after sitting around working all day, but when I got to the 2 mile mark I decided to do the 4 tempo miles like I had planned earlier in the week.  It turned out to be pretty decent -- at least better than last week's tempo. 

Ave pace of 6:25 for the tempo miles was a little slower than my Mcmillan pace chart dictates (6:06-6:16) but better than the 6:39 pace of last week in the wind.  I'm happy about it cause it is better, but I really want to nail this thing next week. 

Still no race planned in the near future, there is a 5K for the local schools that I guess I'll do on March 21st, but other than that.  I don't know. 

Peachtree Road Race 10K is $33 this year, ridiculous.  So I guess that is out for the 4th of July.  I guess I'll run up and watch the speedies finish again this year.
