4.200.000.000.004.20

Easy run. Ran 4.2 miles in 40:10. Ran to library in N Muskegon. 
It was super cold: ~5 degrees out. Layer of snow everywhere, so the footing wasn't great and really slowed me down. I am just happy to get out there after the blizzard yesterday.

5.201.700.000.006.90

Long(ish) run. 6.9 miles in ~60 mins, maybe 57? 8:15 AP I'm guessing. No watch.

Route: to Concordia, Oak, Bridge, Lake, and back.

Mile Splits: First 3 miles were around 8:30 pace, then 1.7 miles at something like marathon or tempo pace (7:15-7:30). Final 2 miles at 8:30-8:45 pace.

Weekly Goal: 11.3/31

3.100.000.000.003.10

Easy run. Ran 3.1 miles in ~26:15. 8:30 AP.

I didn't have my watch - still can't find it :( - but the run felt really good at something like 8:30 pace. It felt like I could have gone forever.

Weekly goal: 14.4/30 I definitely won't hit my goal this week. I was lazy yesterday and didn't run. Tomorrow it should be like -15 out in the AM, so I'll use it as a chance to jump on my bike trainer and get some time in there. New goal: 26 miles.

9.000.000.000.009.00

Long Run. 9 miles in 1:17. 8:35 AP.

Route: Concordia to Desplaines River, quick loop around Trinity.

Mile Splits: 8:45, 8:30, 8:30, lost track, last 2 miles were around 8:30 for sure.

I felt consistent the whole time. At mile 8, I felt my energy lagging, so I focused on picking my knees up, my cadence, and my foot placement.

Weekly Goal: 23.2/30. Didn't do it. I couldn't drag myself out of bed on T/Th/F.
