Campus loop - 16 miles, averaged 7:36.

Pace was decent given that my first two miles were slow (~9 minutes) because I ran to meet the guys. I was working early and thinking throughout "Why do I run mileage when I get the tar kicked out of me on speed and I am sucking air now?" Well, even coming off a marathon and having to hit the John pretty bad I can still endure longer than anyone I run with (most of the time) because I was still able to keep running when everyone else was gassed. About mile 9-10 I was just getting warmed up. Cold for this time of year. 37 to start.

Nice run - let the interval torture sessions begin!

37 is kinda cool this time of year. It's kinda fun to knock out 16 like it's no big deal.

Nice run Jason. 37 is pretty chilly temps but nice. Indy in 6? Nice W yesterday against lebron and company. MIH

Joe: this is what the fastest guy I have been running with has on tap for Thursday: 4 x 400 (67-68), 1 min rest, 3 min before 2 miles 2 mi tempo, 2 min rest after 4 x 400 (67-68), 1 min rest, 2 min before mile 1 mi tempo

I think I'll copy the format and try to run ~79-80 seconds for the 4s. I am kind of going with whatever for now. I may play the blog game of "You call it" for a few weeks before I get into my mundane 6 x 1 mile-type workouts that I usually do (plan is to add some 400 and 200s to those typical sessions)

I love colder weather for running! I wish I had something to do with that Spencer, but I have fallen off most ball sports. Back in the 1990s when I was just a pup I used to follow Jordan.
