5 mile run this morning.  Made it a point to hold back a little bit and focus on what a steady moderate pace feels like so I can find the zone I want to be in for my half.  45 minutes even.  Really didn't feel all that great when I started, but after about 3 miles I felt like I could have gone all day.nice work! I love that feeling when you hit the zone and your energy feels endless.

crush it!
 Are you doing any turkey trots next week? I've got a hilly 5k this Saturday, then a 2.8m fun run on t-day morning -- there's a chance I could win a random pie. I might need to figure out a costume.

are you doing any long, slow distance runs on the weekends? 
 I am going to try go keep doing 9m runs on the weekends from here until the half in February, and keep my weekly ones around 3(or4)5-6 for the M-W-F runs. then sprinkle in the elliptical cross training on T-Th with a rest day on Saturday.
 
 The goal is to get to 25m/week

can you break out during work? 
 I just did 3.1 on the treadmill (incline at 1% cuz that's apparently a better simulation of running outside). All in all I was down there, changed, ran, cooled, stretched, grabbed a sammich and back in my seat in 1:15

in order to run fast, you have to run fast.  
 do interval work - run at your comfortable pace, then sprint for as long as you can, then return to a comfortable run until you recover your heart rate. Repeat.

5k today on a rather hilly course, but I PR'd it! 
 23:54 and my splits were 7:50, 7:55, 7:35!!  average pace of 7:43/mile!!
 
 
 Had some monstrous hills (at least monstrous in my eyes). Here's the elevation profile from the garmin:
 
 
  
 In total it was 166ft of elevation gained, with around 90 gained between miles 1 and 2. Fun course, but very windy and 37* at the start. Ditched my jacket after I got out of the heaviest wind around mile 1.5
 
 Last best 5k time was 24:45 earlier this month. WOOT!!

Fucking Woot.   My first sub 50:00 10k.   49:54.   That's a PR by almost 5 minutes.    
 Nicely done! 5 minutes off is huge!

Yeah. Total slacker mode. it snowed this week and I didn't wanna slip on the ice. It's melted now, I should have gone today. Gonna hold out for my normal Tuesday run and up the mileage to atone for the week. lol.

nice work!  
 mine was 4.4 miles in 34:57
 
 I wish I could run for an hour at lunch, but that leaves no time for cooldown/stretching/showering

 no fucking way I could get by with babywipes. I am a fat kid that sweats a lot when he exercises.
 
 it would have to be a beach towel sized baby wipe.
