9 mile Thursday!

I used to have nine mile Thursday every week when I was training for Boston in 2008. I usually did some form of progression run ending at threshold pace for a mile or two. Today I zig zagged my way through Quartz Hill area between 50th W. and 70th W. and got as far north as L-8 running hard up all the hills and finished the 9 miles in exactly 72 minutes (8:00 pace avg). It was a little breezy in the morning and it was gusty by the afternoon. Is this the start of the spring winds? I'm not looking forward to that. That's all I have for ya today. Hope everyone is having a good week!

It has been a beauty! Highlight workout: 6 miles of tempo work at 6:50 pace. Felt great to push it a little. My 10k at the end of March is going to be fast!

Dan, glad to hear your training is progressing nicely. Keep up those long tempo runs, they are key!
