Today's workout involved jelly beans, M&M's and a 3 hour nap.  Later in the day I brought in 2 boxes of Easter decorations from the garage and filled the bird feeders.  That's it.

12.65 pm miles 1:49:34  8:40 pace.   Coldest run of the year.  Wind and snow but I had to get it done.  I'm only going to be able to run about 10 total tomorrow and Friday is always minimal so this was my last day to log some miles between now and Saturday.  I'm glad it's over and done with.

20 miles out and back from home.  3:04:42  9:14 ave pace.  This is embarrassingly slow.  I had the wind at my back on the way out and in my face on the return.  I ran 9's going out and 9:30's back.  I hope this run does me some good because I sure didn't enjoy it.  I had no drive to run fast and the headwind didn't help.  Everything hurt.  Now that I'm back and settled in with an excellent cup of french pressed coffee I feel like I didn't even run.  I'ts probably because I ran so slowly it didn't take anything out of me.

I tried a new form a nourishment, Belvita something breakfast/cookie/biscuit thing.  It worked well.  This is the first time (this training year) that I took any kind of nourishment, I almost always don't.  My go to nourishment in a marathon is Fig Newtons.  I'm contemplating switching.  Fig Newtons have served me well so I don't even know why I'm even thinking about it.  My coffee cup is now empty and I need to get up for more and I'm not coming back so this is it.

Bad 20 miler in the books!
