5 TM miles this morning at home. A decent run, lots of sweat. Windchills outside were -21 this morning. Good idea to stay inside.

Scheduled called for 3 miles so hopped on the home TM for a quick 3. Progressive run as is normal for me, and ended going a bit quick at 9.3 mph, but I was trying to finish up to get to work a bit earlier than normal. Ended up sweating for 30 minutes after the run but it all worked out.

Ran 2 miles and bit to my best hill, then did 4 X hills, then ran home. No watch. Mid 20s out, breeze heading out but no wind coming back. Felt pretty darn good.

Pace mile Friday, so I warmed up 1 mile on the TM at the YMCA, then did 6 miles at 8.1 mph/7:24 pace. Warmup & first 2 miles at 2% incline, next 2 at 1%, last 2 at 0 incline. Amazing what a difference 1% incline makes. I was struggling after 2 pace miles and nearly slowed to a walk (typed in 4.0 on the TM but didn't hit Enter) but then dug in and continued on. I rightly predicted that after 2 miles or so I would be dialed in to the pace and my legs would be numbed to the difficulty. That worked great. Love this hard workout. Now I need to work on keeping the incline at 2% for longer. Not sure I'll be running MP miles outdoors for a while as the roads are pretty crappy around here and we've had oodles of snow so far this season.

13 up my Veyo hill. Mildish temps meant I took off my jacket after a few miles and ran without it until a couple miles to go. I felt strong. I've got a good mix of TM and outdoor running the last bit.

AP: 8:40.
