A ten miler at slower than Easy pace (8:30-9:30/mile) getting them done at 9:44/mile average pace.  Sticking with the really easy pace for maybe another 1-2 weeks and then the speedwork. 

Need to slowly build up the pace and the mileage after the two week break.  Besides, I have to learn to run slower.  Over the next 16 weeks, there will be six training runs being done in the 20-31 mile range.  Running those at 9:00/mile not the best idea (not all the miles anyway!).

Road conditions – 5.5 miles of this run done on the canal trail which was icy throughout.  That was fun.  I negative split the run.  The tenth mile was the fastest split (9:11) – not really fast – but the purpose of this run is EASY.  Part of me has to prove I still have gas in the tank though.  Plus, I love going faster at the end.  Why waste that opportunity!

Hi Pre:

I posted a yearly summary of my training for comparison.

We are both training at about the same level/volume (give or take 10%).

Well done with today's 10 miler, you are off to a good start!

Great run, I love picking the pace up towards the end too. Good luck with all your goals, running and otherwise. I am excited to see how these longer races treat you, you've got a great plan and plenty of marathon experience.
