February 10th Results (6 & 8 miles, etc.)

This was a first. We’ve canceled two runs over the years (once for snow, the other for smoke), but not until today had we delayed one. A troubling forecast led to the afternoon start (though some from the team chose to check actual conditions and ran at the usual time). Today we could add to the usual rhyme, making it "Sunday Runday Oneday."

It was also a rare day when the suggested distance for the Florence Half exceeded that for the Eugene Marathon. A reminder that the alternating short runs are not throwaways. They serve one of two purposed: either as recovery from the past week’s long one (at similar pace but half the distance) or as speed training (at faster pace than a week before).

Thanks to Lindsey and Austin for greeting us at the store. It’s our first time back with her this year.
