Pretty slow but I ran with Anya - willing to give up speed to have a willing running partner!

43 degrees - i wore too many layers and had to lose the jacket within the first mile.  Anya didn't appreciate the sunlight.  So far she enjoys 30 degree weather with overcast the best.  Oh to be a husky and have a built in winter jacket. :)

4 miles with Anya in between studying for my LAST final! Thank goodness!  She had a lot of energy so we ran at a nice pace - avg 7:51 first 3 miles (including slow 1/4 mile warm up!), 7:45 last mile.

Well... this was an interesting workout today.  I was suppose to do 2 miles at marathon pace, then 4X1 mile at Tempo (which my workout informed me was 7:45) and then 2 more at marathon pace.

Since I'm trying to qualify for Boston, goal pace is 8:20.

Let me say right now that I have no idea what an 8:20 min mile feels like.  I usually just go out and either run "slow" or "fast" and figure out my avg speed when I get home.

So I have a good 1 mile loop in my neighborhood that has a nice hill.  To give an idea of how this run went, let me just say... I hit the 1/2 mile marker at 2:50 for my first "marathon pace" mile.... not good since I was aiming for an 8:30 mile... I slowed down and finished that mile at 7:20. Did better for the 2nd mile - 8:10.

 Splits as follows:

MP Miles - 7:20, 8:10

4X1 mile Tempo - 7:20, 7:30, 7:35, 7:30

MP Miles - 8:30, 7:30 (oops... lol)

Ran all the MP miles with Anya - she did good!

slow run... more like a fartlec due to all the snow/ice on the path.  I would say about 3 miles worth of the path was covered unfortunately. 

Ran with Anya.  We had a big fight at mile 1, but then she settled down and understood we were not outside to play in the snow, but to run. :)

Ran the first 4 with Anya.  A lot of the snow and ice has melted, but there were still some spots I had to slow down to make sure I wouldn't slip.  Hoping for good weather tomorrow so I can do a speed workout tomorrow!! :)
