I needed a change of scenery and headed to the gym.  I felt good today....not 100%, but good.  I didn’t hurt everywhere.  The bad part of running on the TM is I tend to hop off more.  This run gives me a glitter of hope.

YES!!!!!!!  

 

The first 5 miles were hilly, extremely icy, and there was a strong headwind.  I would hop on/off the grass to keep from wiping out.  

 

Once the sun came out and the ice lessened, I picked up speed.  I even held back a little.  I didn’t hit the full 8 miles of tempo, I feel VERY good about this run.  I was FINALLY able to shift into that next gear!!!!!!

 

I used Tailwind for fuel.  I really like it, but I had pee.  

 

Hip was tight the first few miles, but warmed up just fine!
