Tempo run today.  I needed to get an idea of baseline to start some work on speed training.  Too much snow outside to run fast so I had to stay on the treadmill.  Pretty happy since this is the fastest I have run on a training run in 6 months.  I just started it up and kept at it.  No warmup..Probably suffer later for it.

10 miles at 10.5 miles per hour. 5:45 pace

Real happy to get this run in.  I have had this on my schedule for several weeks, but no time to get it in.  I needed an endurance baseline.  Last run of the year and the longest one, I think!  I aimed for 20, but at the 10 mile turn around felt great so I kept going.  I was worried about the pace, especially since it was on my mind how long it took me when I was starting marathoning to hit the 3 hour marathon, the 7 min pace.  It was a neat experience today to run through the 26.2 mark at just under 3 hours and feel great.  I slowed up after that 15 seconds a mile for the rest.  Two Mt. Dews on the run and a package of peanut butter crackers.
