Sun Feb 4: AM. A 78 min run with MSRC on the Lake Wingra loop route and on various streets and trails.  It was mostly cloudy and in the upper 20s.  PM. A 78+ min run on the Capital City Trail.  It was sunny and in the upper 30s.  My watch died so I’ll have to guess the length of my runs, till I get a new one.

Mon Feb 5: AM. A 45ish min run on the Capital City Trail and around Monona Bay.  Sun was rising over clear skies, temp of 21°.  PM. A 30ish min run on the Capital City Trail.  It was dark and around 30°.

Tues Feb 6: AM. A 90ish min run around Lake Monona.  The sun rose towards the end of the run, giving way to hazy blue skies.  Temp in the low 20s.

Wed Feb 7: AM. A 60ish min pastry club run on residential and city streets.  It was cloudy and around 30°.  PM. Ran a loop around Lake Wingra in 45 mins, did 10x400m on the track (81, 81, 81, 80, 78, 78, 78, 78, 79, 79), then ran another 45 min loop around Lake Wingra.  It was cloudy and in the low 40s.

Thurs Feb 8: AM. A 60 min run on the Mendota Lakeshore Path.  Sun was rising over partly cloudy skies.  Temp of 41°.  PM: In Middleton, A 30 min run on the South Fork Trail.  It was dark and around 50°.

Sat Feb 10: AM. A 60 min run on the Mendota Lakeshore Path to Picnic Point.  It was cloudy and 28°.  PM. A 50 min run on the Capital City Trail and over trails in Olin Park.  It was sunny and 39°.

I love the mild weather.  It was nice to get some trackwork in this week.  400 reps may seem short for marathon preparation, but it still helps to work on speed.  Even the marathon is a race that is won by the fastest runner.  If my legs are up for it, I’d like to get in a long run tomorrow.
