Mon 12/18 - PM 60 minutes easy
Tue 12/19 - PM 50 minutes incl. 8x300. I had hopes of doing 10 reps (high end of the suggested range) but the slower split on the 7th repeat convinced me otherwise. That and the very late start. Mostly quite consistent, avoided straining or tying up. Shooting for around 54 as a goal on each with 90 second recoveries. Splits:
54.0 (93.4) 53.4 (96.3) 53.8 (94) 53.8 (93) 53.5 (92.3) 53.7 (94.1) 54.3 (92.4) 52.9
Wed 12/20 -PM 50 minutes easy
Thu 12/21 - PM 55 minutes easy
Fri 12/22 - PM 55 minutes incl. 2x3k. Broken tempo/progression, although I got a bit ahead of myself on the first rep which left me short on the second one. Mostly controlled other than that. Splits:
3:38.5/3:34/3:24.1 - 10:36.7
3R
3:35/3:34/3:28.7 - 10:37.8
Sat 12/23 - AM 80 minutes easy, Area 51. Probably the last time I'll be able to run for any length of time on the trails of the refuge. Snow followed by freezing rain leaving a glaze of ice on everything, which got progressively worse as the morning went on. Later start than I would have liked.
Sun 12/24 - AM 40 minutes very easy, puttering around Mystic with the CH. Up and around some woods perched on a hill before giving up on that and going flat next to the river for a time even though it was a bit breezy out in the open. Ground completely dry which couldn't be more different from the way things are back home. PM 45 minutes easy, back in Maynard where the conditions underfoot could hardly be worse. Ice everywhere. It's going to be a long winter.
