Miles:This week: 0.00 Month: 0.00 Year: 0.00

10 miles this morning!  The pathetic part is that it's been 2 months since I've done this.  Stupid winter and sickness!!  Two months ago I hadn't missed a 10 mile week in over a year.  Sad.  But, at least I've started back again.  Did it in 1:35, so we average 9:30 min/mile.  Not great, but okay, all things considered.  Mile 6 was our best again, think it was between an 8 and 8:30.  It always is the fastest, bit of downhill, plus it helps when some jerk decides to honk at you on the road.  It's 7:00 a.m. - is that really necessary??  And, no I wasn't in any danger of being hit.  So, that sped me up a bit :)

By mile 8 I was getting pretty tired.  And hungry.  The last 2 miles felt a bit slow, but we pushed on.  Made us sprint the last 50 yards to the finish.  Kind of a nice change for the muscles :)  Glad the weather cooperated today, too.  It was a balmy 33 degrees when we left this morning.  Balmy, yes.  When the high has been 15 or so earlier this week, 33 feels quite pleasant :)
