Snowed 4-5" last night so did my run on the TM this morning at home. Tired and sore legs from Saturday's run so I almost slept in today and skipped the run entirely, but I couldn't do that. I need these last few good runs.

Warmup for 1/2 mile, then most miles at 7.0/8:34 pace. Last two miles I needed to hurry so bumped to 8.0/7:30 and held it. My tired legs wanted to stop but they were just being lazy and it wasn't hard to continue on. Sweatfest, however.

Taper on! I love tapering. My tired legs love the taper.

Snowed on March 31st...Who would have thought that could happen. :-)

Montana has weird springs like this. I was looking at pictures from last year and we got 2-3" of snow on Memorial Day weekend. That's pretty late in the season, but we normally get our last dump of snow in mid April (so there's more to come). In fact, it's snowing again right now, temp is 28 degrees at 11:30 am. The joys of living by Canada. :)

Canada is the best.
