This past week at work was one of the most busy I've had in a long time, so I didn't have the time or energy to post, sorry loyal readers.
Tuesday night was a good 5-mile tempo run. After a mile warmup, I got in three solid miles faster than 7:23 including the third one at 7:03. Finished with a mile cooldown of 8 minutes. Whew, that one was tough, but good.
I needed a day off after that and on Thursday, I got in a fairly easy 4-mile steady state run in 32:24 or 8:06/mile. Not too bad, but I was still feeling slightly tired from Tuesday's tough run and tired from work.
Saturday was a new day and after a good night sleep and a nice breakfast, I got in 8 miles in 61:15 or 7:45/mile pace. Wore the Yak Trax and they definitely helped on the snow-covered roads where I live.
So I was very happy considering the snow and somewhat windy conditions. I felt strong and fresh at the end and did the last mile in 7:38! Very pleased, indeed.
Runners World Quote of the Day:
"Running was a practical and mystical discipline. It was a way of melding the inner and outer realms."

Happy running!
