Back home. It's still darn cold. I ran one wu mile followed by 2 at just under 8 mom pace followed by one cd mile. Though it was okay on the treadmill, I should have done it outside, but didn't.

It was a little warmer today (about 36) and at least it was sunny. The wind wasn't so terrible.

This run was actually pretty good. I felt strong throughout. The whole run averaged slightly under 8:30 pace with the last mile at 7:39. I was aiming for under 7:30, but I decided that was my goal as I noticed my pace dropping, and I was at least a tenth into the last mile. So it was close.

Some treadmill miles plus abs and arms. Last day of spring break is always depressing. Luckily next week is a 4 day week plus a four day weekend because of Easter.

Not a great run. I started slow and was slow all the way through. Just couldn't get moving, probably because in my haste to get out the door so I could be back by the time the rest of the fam got back from breakfast, I didn't eat breakfast. And then once I realized that, I coulcn't stop thinking about how hungry I was.

I never really had a firm idea of how far this run was supposed to be. I vascillated between 6 and 10 for a while before finally settling on 8. And then when I got close to my house and I was already over 8, I added a couple blocks so that I didn't have to end on a weird number.
