Managed to get to the treadmill at Y for tempo run today. Cold rain with strong wind outside.
6 total. 3 fast @ 7:12 then 7:01 then 6:40. Very happy with that.
Later this week I have to do a long run and keep the focus on May 2nd - Broad Street 10 miler. I heard that the registration has closed with the 30,000 runner cap already met!

Haddon Adrenaline 5k
yeah - first blog post of the new year . . . been busy (doing whatever?)
Ran two 5k's recently. February's plan of getting really speedy workouts was mostly a bust due to the extreme snow situations; however, my racing was still decent. First ran the Logan House 5k. A few hills but nothing too bad. Ran something like 21:10 and was okay with that.
This past Saturday ran the Haddonfield 5k and did better than expected. Hoped to break 21:00 and ended up with 20:34. Very happy. Will probably be my fastest 5k of the year since I had planned to focus on speed & short runs for the first months. Now I have to look toward Broad Street 10 miler and so must get back into long runs. The longest I've gone in the last 10 weeks is like a 7 or an 8 miler. So I've got about 5 weeks to build back some endurance. I might do some other races during these weeks - done as my speed work while i focus on long runs.
Looking forward to getting back onto trails too - most of the past few months have been treadmill at Y.
