Great job, 7.

8 miles for me yesterday. I felt pretty good but I didn't have a watch or garmin so I have no idea what my pace was.

As it was 20F and I was dealing with a bad cold, I skipped Saturday's 5k. Racing in that temp. would have been tough enough! (And standing at the start line waiting to go would have been miserable).

Today I finally got out for a run, first time since last Wednesday. Nothing much, just 3.5 miles, with a big cough break. But it felt good to be running again!

Did my 4+ mile beach run again. Conditions were perfect -- overcast, very light breeze, 70 degrees. I have no idea of my pace, though, as I never time myself. If conditions are similar for my next run (Wed. am), I may try for 4.5 miles.

I need to go run. 2 x 1600's at a 7:30 pace. With my running lately, I have no delusions that I'll make it. Just hoping I can run under 8 min miles . . .

Do the best that you can. That's all you can ask of yourself.

It's amazing how warm 40F feels after all those mornings in the 20s. I definitely over-dressed for the conditions. It got to the point that I was trying to remember if the sports bra I was wearing was suitable for stripping off my undershirt. (It wasn't, btw). 5.5 miles; started out too fast and was feeling the effects of that and my lingering cold by the end.

Thanks coach! Surprised myself with 7:19's (surprisingly consistent!). I added an extra 2 x 800's. My pace slowed a pitch to 7:25s.
