Another successful week of training! I feel like I am at a pretty healthy balance of faster training runs, longer miles, and adequate rest. After the faster 6:45 pace for 7 miles tempo workout on Wed I was a bit sore, but I was recovered and ready to go for my weekend miles. Saturday's 17 miler had about 5 miles of atv trail with 3 inches of snow and the rest was snowpacked roads, so it was overall a great workout even if the elevation gain was not enormous. Today I ran my first 4.25 miles with Hillary. It was difficult to get out of the car with the temperature at 14 degrees and the trees swaying back and forth due to the high winds. It took us a mile to get warmed up as we crossed the open farm fields, but once we started to climb Griffin Hill all was good for the rest of my 11 mile run.
Hill intervals and a 20 miler to look forward to next week!
