11:30am and 35 degrees, calm. 10.25 mile base run today in 1:13:53 (7:12s). Good run somewhat tired legs from yesterday. This was a positive workout coming off yesterdays slight letdown. I need to get back to more regular runs in this zone for a good 2-3 weeks to build back up to where I can sustain race pace nearing 15 miles. The goal at this point is to be able to do a 20 miler by February 7th with 16 of it at race pace.

Nike Pegasus Miles: 10.25

16 at race pace is pretty ambitious. I usually do 20-22 miles with a small warmup, then slowly tempo up until the last 13 are at race pace. But if you can do all 16, go for it. When is your goal race?

Boston -- Sub 3:00.

35 degrees feels great now after last week's temps! Thanks for checking up with me. I entered my miles into my blog, although I have been taking it really easy. Time to get serious...
