New loop. Norma Jean Addition (maps don't lie), which I will likely change to "Norma Jean's Cannon" because the shape on my Garmin looks like a cannon - 15.2 miles, averaged 7:55

30 degrees with rain and freezing rain. Feet were soaked from mile 3. Somehow a very enjoyable run.  Glad I got home when I did. I could hear ice forming under my feet.

800m repeats on Rome Drive. 3.2 warm up, drills, and strides. 6 x 800m w/ 2 min slow recoveries. Goal was 3:00-3:05. Reps were 2:58.4, 3:00.1, 3:00.0, 3:00.4, 3:01.6, 2:57.3. Averaged 2:59.63.  3.16 mile cool down home.

Not mind blowing speed obviously, but this is at least a 13-second average improvement from last spring when I started formal speed work.

Friday workout. 5 x 1 mile LT repeats. 3.10 mile warm up to the golf course. Then 5 x 1 mile at LT pace w/ 2 minute recovery jogs. Was planning planning on HMP, but I got my legs moving and felt good despite some 20ish MPH winds, and at this point I have no idea what my HMP is. Solid effort either way. Splits were 6:21.8, 6:19.2, 6:18.6, 6:16.7, 6:14.8, averaged 6:18.2 Then 2.76 mile cool down home.

Very pleased with this one.
