Last night again I was able to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, and it felt good waking up.
This morning was colder than its been for about a week, 25
degrees. There was a very thick fog also, and you could probably only
see about 20 feet away. This morning I had to be at work early,
because my supervisor and I were giving interviews to three candidates
to fill a position in our department. I started out later than I wanted too which wasn't good. I was planning on only doing 7 miles for the first run, because of needing to be at work earlier. I felt no fatigue factor today as far as mentally or physically. I started out slow with the first mile at 7:51. Then I increase my speed to 7:04, 6:56,6:47,6:46. The last two miles I needed to push a little more to get back home (6:36, 6:11). I ran 7 miles at an overall 6:53 pace in 48:27 minutes. Hopefully, I can get about another 4 miles in today. Lunch: Ran 5.22 miles on my lunch hour at an overall 6:46 pace in 35:27. The wind was terrible with gusts of 35-40mph, and must of the run I was running in a headwind. But I was in a hurry so I tried to keep a decent pace. Splits 6:46, 6:58, 7:09, 6:47 6:18. It's funny 30 minutes before I was going to run it was snowing hard here and the wind was the same speed. But when I walked outside it was sunny still with the heavy wind, but I was all set to run on the Treadmill at the gym.
