AM - 17 miles. 4+ mile warmup, 10 Mile AT Tempo in 53:19 (5:20/mile average). Splits - 5:22, 5:23, 5:23, 5:21, 5:17, 5:20, 5:20, 5:19, 5:18, 5:15. Cooled down 3 miles.

A great morning... even if was only single digits outside when we started. Fritz, Matt, Scott, Mike, and Chad came over and met Andrea and I at our place. We all ran together for ~30 minutes (yahooooo - Andrea too!!!) for our warmup, then got going rolling on my tempo loop. Matt ran awesome today, he was never more than a step behind me for the first 8.5 miles and finished the 10 just a few seconds behind me. He's got the killer instinct to get after these longer workouts, and that makes it a lot easier for me to have someone to work with. Fritz and Mike started w/ us, and Mike also jumped in for some mile repeats during the second half of tempo (it was nice to have him there at that point). I thought about extending the tempo to 11-12 miles, but figured since I hit 10 right at 5:20 pace despite the cold, that was about perfect for today. I have another week of harder workouts coming up before my mini-taper for the RnR 1/2.

A very good team effort this morning. We regrouped for the cooldown and then headed back indoors, where Andrea had eggs, bacon, sausage, and hot chocolate ready for us. Lots of fun... Chad told his story of getting shot in the chest with a rifle... so we're basically all just a bunch of wimps compared to him!

Thanks guys for a great run this morning!

Tomorrow we're planning to run from Highland High School at 8:30am. 

PM - 5 miles.

You guys really get after it. As always, great job!

Great run Jake! You looked so smooth and strong. You are in great shape and you are ready to spill some serious blood in Phoenix. Was an honor to be up there with you. Thanks for setting this run up and motivating me to do the entire 10 miles. That loop is a great one! We definitely need to do it again. And thanks again for the breakfast. Definitely hit the spot.

Impressive work this morning. Thank you again for the hospitality and breakfast this morning. I'm excited to see what you can do in Phoenix in couple weeks.

Great workout Jake! You make it look so easy. You are setting yourself up well for an awesome race in Phoenix. Thanks for having us over afterwards.

Nicely done yet again Jake. Keep it rolling.

From Derek D on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 14:16:41 from 68.109.132.154

Another great effort Jake especially in those conditions. I thought your recovery post was excellent and so did many others if you paid attention to Twitter. Keep up the great work with your training and being an excellent ambassador for the sport.

Derek I did notice that it got a good response... tons of hits on the blog - mostly thanks to you and Allison! Thanks!

Thanks for the blog post Jake. Rachelle got me pointed towards it. We were ironically just talking about recovery/compression sleeves/weight. Great post and answered a lot of questions!

And nice workout today! Strong finish.

From Kassi on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 20:21:48 from 98.202.223.143

Sounds like a blast! You are all very impressive!! I wish I could keep up :)

From Rachelle on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 20:24:31 from 76.8.202.193

Great workout this morning Jake! I am beyond excited to see what you can do in AZ. You have worked your butt off and the combination of an awesome training cycle + sea level + great course + amazing AZ weather + increasing your icecream consumption by 9% to make up for the 2012 deficit = PR!

From mike⇒nelson on Sun, Jan 06, 2013 at 09:30:01 from 98.202.247.25

Fun, as always, running with you Jake. You're in incredible shape. Can't wait to see how Phoenix goes for you. You're going to tear it up!

From Christie on Sun, Jan 06, 2013 at 12:31:56 from 74.213.202.246

Such an impressive workout! Heading over to the blog now to read all about recovery :)
