Happy New Year My Friends!!!

Blustery day of running with a wind chill of 32 degrees. 18 MPH wind and 40 Degrees, 87% Humidity, 34 Degree Dewpoint. You guys from the north are probably laughing at us but we were COLD!!! 7.7 miles with Callie to make her 1100 miles for the year. Not so many for me. :-(

Well, the weather is getting colder. It was 28 degrees but a wind chill is 17 degrees....burrr!!! It's funny though, I guess I overdressed because I was really sweating by the end. I ran the first 4 with Callie, then took off to complete the total 15. My goal was to bring my avg down to 7:45 by the end. Mission Accomplished! I was hoping for a slightly lower HR, this was not much improvement over my last 15 mile run, but I did feel much stronger and continued to increase the pace to the end (last mile the fastest)! Glad to get the 15 out of the way. 15 will be my long run for one more week and then I jump to 20.

Running without Callie today, her and Mat (her husband) went to Fredericksburg and hiked Enchanted Rock so I was on my own to run. 

A little slower than marathon pace as I consider that about 7:30-7:45. Anything below a 150 HR is typically pretty good/easy for me.

Last run with Callie. We did 10 together and then I ran 2 more by myself. Going to miss running and the time with her. She did talk me into running the SoCal Ragnar Relay with her in April!!!

Pretty fast last 2 miles. :-)
