Took the day off. Needed to re-evaluate what races I'll be entering since I will not be running the marathon in April. Instead, I will attempt to run my first in either the summer or early fall. Until then, itll be shorter races, building up to a few halfs. I'm going to build mileage the right way and hope my body responds better. So, next few weeks, mileage will be slowly building.

The 5 today felt very good. I felt like i was just getting warmed up towards the end of it, which is a good sign. Ran it in 35:55, so around 7:10 pace. Other than a very windy and cold day, this was a good run and it makes for a good start of the week.

Mile repeats today. Did 3x1600 at 5:40, 5:50, 5:55, then threw in one 800 at 2:40 to finish. Had a mile and a half total warm-up+ cool down. Overall, legs felt great. I could have gone faster, but i have basketball tonight and wanted to not kill my legs. Good stepping stone workout today!

Good run today. legs are a little sore from yesterdays speed work and basketball last night, 2 more wins for our 3 on 3 intramural team! Today was really windy and cold, so i had to get tough to get in the over 6 miles today. More speedwork in the morning.

Very cold today. -4 windchill at the start of my run. Was supposed to do speedwork today, but i was really sore and had shin splits, so decided to move up my easy 3 miles to today and do speedwork tomorrow.

Tempo today- 4 miles in 24:55 (6:14 min/mi pace). Felt great, was right around where i wanted to be. This was a good run to let me know how fast i can go and how i feel. Definitely a step up today. 7-8 tomorrow, hope we dont get too much snow.

I was up in spirit lake for the weekend, decided to get 8 in today. It was negative windchills and 30 mph winds, so a tough rough, but i got through it and felt pretty decent.
