4 miles this morning in 34F temps with no wind. It felt just right. Actually too warm for February but I'll take it. Really nice. Legs were so dead the first mile but I just kept running and they warmed up decently. This coming stretch of training will be brutal and I've realized my Monday legs will quite often be dead.

No watch.

Noon: Boot Camp. Had a 1 pm meeting so I only got in 35 minutes but a day later my butt is sore so I must have done enough. Lots of running, which of course I loved.

6 miles this morning from the Y with a friend from work. We realized just recently that we should run together. He's done a 3:17:xx marathon and I've done a 3:25 so not too far from each other. Neither of us normally runs with others, which you could tell this morning as both of us were gasping for air while talking and we weren't running all that fast. Beautiful morning, 47F outside with little wind. Warm temps are leaving later today but I look forward to seeing them again soon.

AP: 8:33 (seemed like we ran faster than that but the time flew by)

Early morning and late night yesterday meant sleeping in today. Will take today as a rest day and run the rest of the week.

Ran on the amazing Rim trail. It took 8 miles to warm up then I just plugged along, zoned out, and ran. Hadn't been in that mode for quite a while. I'll need to find that quite often for the next few months. I ran from 11:30 am - 2:20 pm and the temps warmed up amazingly. It hit 66 degrees while out there. I thought it was warm! Felt great. Hoping these record high temps aren't just a tease before the below zero temps hit again.

AP: 9:30 (trails are slow! I'd forgotten how slow. But so great mix it up with trails instead of my gravel road.)
