Word of the day is sssslllloooowwww! We ran with one of Megans friends today who runs at about a 9:30 pace so we took it pretty easy today. After our long run yesterday we decided it would be okay to have a nice easy recovery day. After 4 miles her friend decided to head home and we picked it up for the last mile and averaged about a 7:45 pace. Everything felt really good and talking and breathing was very easy with the heart rate under 140 at times. The last day of the month brings the mileage total to 186 which is good enough for second on my all time monthly mileage. My highest month was July 2007 when training for SGM with 193 miles. I was injured in August 2007 right after my highest mileage month and I am trying to avoid that this year as February will be close to 200 miles. The weather continues to be cold in Vegas with 32 this morning. Thank goodness it is dry because I couldn't hack running on the ice.
