Monday, December 13, 2010 -
AM - 4 miles @ 6:30 mile pace.  It was brutally cold out when I ran at 8:45am.  Having to to deal with below zero windchill and black ice on the roads it was hard to run that 6:30 pace even for 4 miles.  I decided to run the final 5 miles on the treadmill in the afternoon.

PM - 2 miles @ 6:30 mile pace and then 3 miles @ 6:20 mile pace.  As I said this was done on the treadmill and went much better.  I had my music keeping me jacked up for the 5 miles and then run felt really enjoyable.  After the run I did drills and got full-body weight workout.  Abs as well.

9 mile total for the day.  Talk to you tomorrow.
