619 miles

Mileage for the week 3/9- 3/15
102 miles

3/15
21.5 miles

Brutal conditions today! 0 degrees with -14 windchill at the start and I believe the wind only got worse as we were running.  Jeff Young, Jim McDonough, and I ran the Totem 3 times to get our mileage.  In the headwind we had some pretty good teamwork taking turns leading and blocking the wind from each other.  Pace was easy, but nice to get some long time on the feet.  Felt good despite the cold.

3/14
8 miles

Got up a little early to get this done before working at Skinny Raven all day.  Kept it easy and gradually got into General Aerobic pace.

3/13
17 miles (12am/5pm)

Still cold and windy and I just don't feel like running in it.  Did a very sweaty 12 miles in the am at the AK club.  Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to sub 6 pace.  Last 1/4 mile I ran around 5:15 pace.

Super easy in the evening.  These 2nd runs in the evening have been a lot of fun listening to music and just running easy.  Feel good.

3/12
13 miles (7am/6pm)

Both runs were at easy recovery pace at the AK club.  Still really cold out.  Felt really good during each run today.

3/11
14 miles

Slept in again which has been really nice.  Decided to take it easy today and run indoors at the AK club.  Felt great, but did get a little tired at the end.  Sweatfest as well.  Wish they could do better with the airflow at the South club.  Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 5:46 pace.

3/10
15 miles (10am w/ 10 x 20 sec strides & 5pm)

Ran totem this morning and right from the get go, it was cold and 1st mile was straight into a strong head wind.  It was only 7 degrees out, but it must of been well below zero with wind chill.  I felt good running though, but wasn't really prepared for the weather.  Should've wore my face mask.

Easy recovery pace at the AK club in the evening.  Took a sauna and stretched a little afterwards.

3/9
13 miles (7am/6pm)

Both runs were at recovery pace today and I felt really good on both.  I'm on spring break and I slept in until 9am!!! Gonna try and get a great week of training and rest this week.
