Short run to loosen my muscles from yesterday's 18 miles.

Conditions:

• Much colder and windier than the weather reported
• Morning run

Observations:

• First run with my son to start getting him ready for his half marathon

Take Away:

• Make sure that I run earlier to get my miles and pace completed

Pace: 2 miles/9:10 (warm-up/treadmill)

           3 miles/8:58 (hills/treadmill)

            1 mile/9:10 (cooldown/treadmill)

Conditions:

• Morning run

Pace: 9:00

Observations:

• Tempo run on the treadmill

Conditions:

• Snowing
• Moning run

Take Away:

• Since I don't know how to utilize my Garmin watch well or ratherI don't enjoy hearing it tell me my mile marker and pace as I run, tempo runs are difficult for me to do well outside. Running on the treadmill is easier to know that I am incresing my speed over distance.

Pace: 9:57

Observations:

• I felt good through 11 miles. I had to stop at home because the alarm system went off. The final mile was difficult. I lost my stride and cadence. 

Take Away:

• Make sure that the front door is properly closed!
