Week 3, Day 6: Christmas Break Begins

This is the end of the 3rd week of training for the 5/3 Riverbank run 25k in May of 2016.  Today was a "long run" - which in this training plan, for now, is only 2.5 miles.  The temperature has dropped considerably compared to the last few weeks, finally feeling more like December.  There was a light dusting of snow on the ground which enabled me to leave some tracks along the trail.  The wind was sharp and cold but I ended up running 2.53 miles at an easy 9:57 pace.

Looking forward to Monday as we are traveling to Chicago for a couple of days.  I love running in Chicago.  There is an air of excitement, city lights, nice trails - definitely a runner-friendly city.
