I had some black cherry Greek yogurt (1/2 cup), water, and a Builder Bar for breakfast. After that, I ran 10.03 miles in 1:14:45 at a 7:27/mi average pace. My miles were at average paces of: 8:15, 7:22, 7:20, 7:35, 7:34, 7:11, 7:02, 7:20, 7:37, and 7:19. Only two of those miles were at goal pace (7:11 or below). I'm aiming to run a 3:10 for the Boston Marathon in April. I'm satisfied with the run today. In October, I did an 11 mile run at 7:45 pace and a 13 mile run at 7:37 pace. I took some time off, and coming back on it at a 7:27 pace for 10 miles is good. I need to be adamant about slowly increasing mileage and doing speed work (with a watch, on a track, or with my Garmin). After my run, I had Whole Foods hot/salad bar: salmon, broccoli, kale, mashed potatoes, water, and a sample of the cider. I watched Alabama beat UGA at a friend's house (drank a lot of water and ate some brownies), then went to a friend's house warming party (more fruit, cheese, sandwich meat, snacks, and water).
