January 18th

(v) ran 7.5 miles today. Started out thinking I'd run one of the routes nick and I first did- starts at the house and wraps around anthem east trail and park and then down anthem. I began with a light jog around my neighborhood to get a feel for the temps because it seemed colder than usual, but after one lap, I knew I would be fine without much gear. I left my gloves, water, and headphones.
This route that i hadnt done since we first started running seemed much easier than I remembered. IMPROVEMENT! Once I did the intended route and was on Eastern I felt like I should go further so I incorporated in a run that I'd been doing that goes next to the church. I kept a pretty slow pace although i didn't have my gps timing me so I dont know how fast I was going. Once I got to horizon and sandy ridge I decided to do a little speed work up the hill and increased my pace for two lights and rest for two then increased it to running for 3 lights and resting for two. I continued this home and finished with a walk around the block to cool down. I was happy switching it up a little at the end to fight boredom. It was a good one.
