In the morning Rachel and I went runnimg again. There was more snow packed down than yesterday, but it was much easier to run. We did golf course and extended up Birch, but it was too snowy, so we turned around. It was way fun. We ended up getting in 5.75 miles at around an 8:54 pace which was okay. It was really hard running in the deep snow.
In the afternoon, I decided to get more miles in and noticed that I should do some tempo. I warmed up a mile. It was around 3:00, and began to lightly snow. I didn't want to start, but did. My first two mile times were 1) 6:19 and 2) 6:35. In the middle of the third mile I had to stop and spit (which I'm not very good at) which took about 5 seconds. The third mile time ended up being a 6:34. The total time was 19:29 which is perfect. I really respect those who run in the morning, then do a workout in the afternoon. I could feel it during my workout. I then did 1.25 for a cool down, to round out the mileage. It was fun, but cold.
