Day 3

Got in the 4 miles today and decided to do it on the treadmill. Toying with the idea of doing the Tues/Wed runs on the treadmill and then Thurs/Sun runs outside. Guess we'll see how it plays out. 99% of the time I'm going to attempt my long run outside, although, the way the weather is here that could prove very challenging at times.

I also worked in the aid station breaks into today's run. So, I ran for 1.8 km, walked for a minute, ran until I hit the 4.3 km mark, rested for a min and then finished off the rest of the run.

Overall - it felt pretty good. The time between the two "aid stations" seemed to be a bit of a stretch. I'll have to review the course and see what the layout is like between stations. I'm used to running a mile, resting for 30 seconds, and then repeating so having to run extra distances in between is definitely pushing me, but I think that's a good thing.

Tomorrow is a 3 mile run again. Mix that with a supposed high of 18 degrees and I think I will be for sure running outside.
