Pavement is the place for me

A big goose egg to start the year. Not exactly the start I wanted. A drive home from my parents took the entire day right out from under me. Tomorrow has miles waiting for me though.

First run of the new year. Broke out the windpants for this one as the windchill was pretty low. Run went well just around the neighborhood. Seemed longer than I remember after not running here for a few weeks.

AM 5 miles - Got on the treadmill this morning. Wanted to get a double in today to make up for Monday. Treadmill gets the job done. Better than running the same run twice though. My subdivision is essentially blocked in by a main road that is busy, curvy, and has no edges. So I'm pretty much trapped here. So when I say the same run, it would literally be the same run, over and over again. I'm getting used to it though.

 PM 8 miles - Two neighborhood loops. Got up the Huge Hill twice which was somewhat challenging. The HH is a great motivator though because I know how fast I'll feel coming down, and that carries through the rest of the run. Not as cold as yesterday so no headband or windpants today.
 

A nice 2 1/2 loops through the neighborhood today. I wouldn't exactly call them easy miles since I worked in a few accelerations. The run felt great today though. I think it was mostly due to the weather being warmer than it has been.

Went way too fast for a recovery day. I guess I was just feeling good.
