Similar loop to yesterday but I extended it a bit - 12.5 miles, averaged 7:02 w/ 8 mile tempo in 53:53/:54 (6:44 average). 6:59, 6:47, 6:46: 6:47, 6:44, 6:36, 6:37, 6:39

I still remember the day I broke 1 hour for 8 miles. I thought I was going to die.

7 inches of snow last night. Worked from home and waited for the roads to melt a bit. Planed on 10 or so because I didn't have time to run twice. Got going and legs wanted something faster, so I said why not.

Good stuff. By May I don't think you'll have a problem doing a marathon at that pace or maybe (a lot) faster.

Very nice Jason - especially in the snow.
