7:00 - 12 mile run commute run to work.  I was a minute faster than what I was a few weeks ago.  The weather was fantastic.  It is starting to warm up.  

One a side note I am proud and happy to announce that I have actually gained 5 to 6 pounds.   The scale is showing 125-126 as opposed to 120-121.  I hope this translates to more fuel stores for the marathon.

8:30 am - 1:27:58 - Ran the cancelled Riverton half course at as much of a race pace as I could muster.

Almost bought the farm a couple times.  Quite slippery with all the thin snow.

6:30 am - 20 miles with Sasha.  We did 6 miles first at about 7 minute pace.  We picked up Benjamin and ran a total of 8 miles with the first 4 being easy and the last 4 fast.  the goal for me was to stay at 5:50 pace.  I ended up finishing in 23:14 which is a new 4 mile PR for me.  I did lose my wheels quite a bit the last half mile that is quite up hill.  I figure I came through the 5k mark at about 17:40 which is the fastest I have ran a 5k in over a decade.  We finished up with another 6 miles easy to make it 20.  Overall it was a fantastic morning of running with nearly perfect weather.
