6.35 miles

I had intended on getting a run in on the old beast of a treadmill in my garage since the roads were covered with snow, but after a few back jarring skips of the tread belt, I opted not to get injured on a treadmill.  The next 5.35 were run on hard pack with my Inov8 295 trail shoes.  They served their purpose.  7:53 avg.

I went out too fast on this one, but then stuck with it even though I was battling myself mentally the whole run.  Weather was awesome...... longsleeve & shorts!

These were my first miles as a Master's runner.  Today is also the first day that my BQ qualifying time moves from a 3:10 to a 3:15.  If I can't shave a minute and a half off of my marathon PR then something is wrong.  Will my third marathon be the charm?  Only time will tell.....

My Garmin strap totally disintegrated this morning..... bummer.  I ran with the old K-Mart special which cost under ten bucks.  I mapped out the run when I got back to my desk and my pace per mile equated to a 6:49 avg.  It felt nice not looking at the watch all the time and just listening to what my body was telling me.

6.2 miles - snow run

In the trails with lots of snow.  I took a big digger in Pratts Brook Conservation land..... trying to brake as I was coming down a steep decline.  There was a sheet of ice underneath the powder and next thing I know I'm looking up at the canopy of trees with the snow falling heavily between them.  BOOM..... elbows & butt first.  That woke me up :)  Really slow & good workout.  8:57 avg.

7.23 miles @ work

It was raining up until 11:30am, so I thought my lunchtime jaunt was to be on the mill.  The rain stopped just in time and I was able to squeeze this run in. I should probably take a shower now that it's 7:30pm and my lower legs are still covered in dried road grime.  7:13 avg.

10 miles - gym treadmill

I started out at 8:00 for the first mile and then gradually dropped down from 7:47-7:30 for the next mile.  The next three miles were a 6:58 tempo, and the three after that were a 6:40 tempo.  Mile nine was a 6:18 & mile ten was back up to a 7 ish pace.  I didn't plan on this workout, but the woman next to me was definitely racing...... thanks lady!
