Another Weekend Double

Local Streets: Lovely outdoor run 6 mi in 53:49, pace 8:58. Lots of icy patches; I took this easy, slowing to a tentative tip-toe in places. What a beautiful day; on the way back there was already water in some places that were ice on the way out. Despite the ice, this is the way a run should be. Nike Miler shoes, for traction. Tights, two shirts, jacket, ear cover, mitts.

Indoor Track: Community Center indoor track 4 mi in 33:19, pace 8:20. Legs felt like lead for the first mile, having run six miles and then rested for an hour. But they loosened up OK and this was a fairly easy run with my sweeties, who ran 5k.

My splits: 9:01, 8:20,8:12, 7:47. I like the last mile - means there was more in the tank. Eighteen miler coming on Tuesday. First of several long runs in preparation for the Avenue of the Giants Marathon in May.
