Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
12.00	0.00	0.00	0.00	12.00

AM: Went around 4.5 miles with Kim then another mile and a half solo. Fairly peaceful, mild overcast morning. Lucky for us the rain held off. Legs still fairly weary from Saturday race but feeling only 'good' aches not the bad injury-signaling kind of pains. Had a good time at Sasha's house last night, loads of informative running chat and food for thought (also some food for eating, thanks Sarah!). Ave pace around 10.

PM: Got 6 more miles at work. I felt surprisingly good on the run today, averaged 7:55 but it felt more like what I'm used to 8:15-8:30 feeling. Perhaps it was because the sun decided to come out for most of the run.

Thanks for pulling me out of bed this morning. I'm glad I have my miles in for the day.

I just looked out the window at the wind and snow so I can see why you're glad!

Unfortunately for me I DON'T yet have my miles in for the day. The dreadmills may be calling my name.

I'm glad my miles are done for the day, too.

I wanted to stop by Sasha's for a few minutes last night, but it wasn't to be. Did the topic of the UVM come up? Was Hyrum there by chance? I'm still a little concerned about how many (or few) people are signed up, and whether the marathon Saturday will even happen.

Paul - Hyrum wasn't there and I don't remember the topic of UVM coming up. Actually Josse may have mentioned it briefly but there was no speculation whether it will happen or not. Hopefully it goes off without those in charge having to lose their shirt. Our family will be on the way to So Cal otherwise we would probably be involved somehow.
