AM- 53º 9.33 Oddly enough I want it to be hotter. I am looking to run a June marathon and do not want to train in nice weather and have the race in hot weather. I did not eat yesterday and yet tried to do some speed this morning. Wonder why I petered out the last 3 miles. AP 8:05 

PM- 53º 4 Much better legs after work, but the bike path was nearly empty!  AP 7:50

44º Long sleeves and gloves, its kinda humorous. Easy run w/ Striders- 13@20s, 4:50-6:40ish efforts. My slow runs are ever so slighty faster on the average.

53º at the start and in just over 2 hours ended at 65º - Good run, but mixed feelings at the end due to fueling. I tried a new brand of gu, chia - supposed to be better for you, good for the belly.... well hogwash... the stuff almost made me puke. I MAYBE got 1/8th of it down at mile 10. This left me reaching for more by the end of the run. Either way, it was a good day, lots of people out. Rowing team by the river, big group at the 'bike hub', 2 people fishing, a large bike group doing a 25 mile ride as well as baby ducks and hissing geese. 

Goal was to run the last 10 at MP pace or better. I was feeling good so I did the last 12. 6 Mile warmup and then 7:47, 7:36, 7:34, 7:31, 7:37, 7:36, 7:40, 7:32, 7:31, 7:27, 7:45, 7:00. I needed fuel.
