5 mi. I should have done a long run but I waited until 8 pm to go out and had to meet a friend afterward. I'm going start getting serious this week.

For some reason I thought the track would be magically cleared of snow. I just did half mile intervals instead of 800s. A few of them were off by a little but I'm just getting back into workouts so I'm happy.

Best run of the month. I waited until 3pm to go and the air got cleaner and the temperature was perfect (50 degrees). I felt good the whole time and I think the warmer weather helped keep my hamstring from hurting.

4 mi tempo

6:53, 6:53, 6:48, 6:38

I was targeting 6:55 but felt strong and was able to speed up

I've decided to only do two stress workouts a week: a speed workout and a long run. I think it will better suit me and my ability to recover and also not get injured. It's not worth it to push your body really hard for a few weeks only to get sidelined with an injury and not perform during a goal race. I can't expect to hit my potential in one season. Be patient.
