Temperature was 9 degrees this morning with only a 9 mph wind. The weather said last night that we would have are coldest day in years for the first of April in a long time. With the wind not blowing bad it was fine.

I ran 11.3 miles at a 6:53 pace in 1:17. I picked it up towards the end of the run. I did my Satterfield hill loop.

mile 7: 6:25 downhill very easy

mile 8: 6:17 downhill didn't fell like I was doing much.

mile 9 6:18 downhill just little gravity pull me down the hill

mile 10: 6:03 flat picked it up a bit, but didn't feel too difficult.

mile 11: 6:32 flat cooling down a bit.

My left calf where I fell up the stairs the other day is still bothering me a bit. The test will be on a long run to see if it gets sore at all.

Evening:

I only wanted to run 3 miles tonight after work, because I knew that's all I would have time for because of the busy day of configuring two Sun server with 8 CPU's, with a Raid setup.. I got off work at 5:30pm and needed to pick-up my daughter by 6pm, but I wanted to just run slow, because I kind of felt sore today. I don't know what happened but it wasn't slow like I planned. I ran 3.3 miles at a 6:35 pace in 21:45 minutes, splits (7:19, 6:35, 5:54). Tomorrow I'll just try to run an easy run. I want to hit about 70 miles this week for a taper, and I'll probably do a long run of 15-17 miles maybe some miles at marathon pace.

Thanks, kory! I hope I can slice em and dice em in the fall! I'm probably going to just do slow, steady build up all spring and summer though. Who knows, maybe I'll have a breakthrough race in the fall?! Great job getting in the run. Sorry that it was so cold though! Who would have thought that the first of April would bring 60 degree temps here! I think I'll send you at least 23 degrees, maybe bring the temp up to at least freezing for you! hehe

Benn - is that the normal weather there for this time of year? I've been to Boston but never to NY.

Slow build-up I agree is the best approach for your training. Once you feel confident about your achilles being healed throw in some 100m strides at the end of your slow runs.
