The Pansy Snow Coffin 8 Mile Interval Run


This pic was taken during the snow last Friday night.  We don't get snow very often so I thought I'd include this picture of my Pansy planter covered with 5 inches of snow.  The slow melt the next day totally soaked the Pansies and actually did them good.  Ought to see them today!

Today is 1 hour and 12 minutes longer than it was at the Solstice and so I had plenty of time to run a tough hilly 8 mile interval run in the Ulmer Road Reflections area.  I haven't done intervals in a while and was surprised at how well my overall time was.  1:15:30 for 8 miles at a 9:26 pace.  Felt good too!!  I think I have the distance down pat if I can fine tune with more short runs and some tempos.  It warmed up to almost 60 degrees and I ran my intervals on the straightaways and downhills.  Was running strong til the finish.  As a result my left leg is pretty sore but that's a good thing.  Need to do an intense 3 or 4 miles tomorrow and I'll be back in the swing of things.
