Training January 1 - January 7 2018

Monday: 1 mile (9:30).  An early mile before heading to the Rome Airport for the long travel day back to Tennessee.
Tuesday: 6 miles (8:26), 3 miles (9:40).  A little faster than easy run workout.  I can tell I lost a little conditioning with the easy couple weeks I just had, but hopefully it comes back fast.  25 degrees out  didn't feel too bad this afternoon compared to those who ran early this morning.  Added a 3 mile very easy tempo run in the early evening.
Wednesday: 7 miles (9:21).  Ran an easy 7 from the library with James Horton.  Felt a little sore from yesterday. 
Thursday: 8 miles (8:31).  Treadmill run with the cold temperatures.  1 mile warmup, then 6 miles starting at 7.1 mph and progressing to 7.5 mph.  This felt a little tougher than it should, but hopefully I regain some conditioning in the first couple weeks of this training cycle.  1 mile cooldown.
Friday: 6 miles (8:57).  Got back outside this afternoon for an easy 6.  Temperature was about 32 degrees, which felt pretty good.
Saturday: 5 miles (9:22).  Very easy run on the Station  Camp Greenway.  Mid 20's outside, even at 11 AM.
Sunday: 10 miles (9:30).  I've been battling a cold for 4 days, but today was the first day I felt better than the previous day.  First 10+ mile run since the Rocket City Marathon.

Total Miles: 46.1 miles.  After two very low mileage weeks, it was good to start to ramp up the mileage.  This starts three 4-week training cycles.  4 weeks to the Frostbite Half Marathon, then 4 weeks to the Tom King Half Marathon, and then 4 weeks to the Carmel Marathon.  A lot of work today between now and the Carmel Marathon.
