good By the sea 8.37 mi 01:05 07:47 pace
2 days off to unpack our house after the arrival of our container, but with this run, I'm back on the schedule for the week.
I feel more beat up after unpacking than after 50+ mile weeks...

20x20x20 8.05 mi 01:00 07:27 pace
Did Wednesday's workout today. 20 minutes warmup, 20 minutes tempo, 20 minutes cool down. Tempo portion started about 7:15 pace and built to 6:30. I'll take it considering it was 15F.

Nice pace out there today Jay.

good Frozen nose hairs 13.1 mi 01:44 07:55 pace
5 degrees F. I'm not really cut for this kind of weather! Caleb said I could play with pace on the last few miles, but I could hardly grip on the ice, much less run fast!

Slow short recovery run. The hotel treadmill is stuck on 3% grade, so that was a nice bonus.

good Longgy 14 mi 01:55 08:12 pace
Given the fact that half of this run was on icy sidewalks that had gravel spread on them, I'll take it! Felt pretty effortless overall. 23F the whole way...
