Weekly Training: December 15-20 -- I'm Back!

After a week of resting my knee, I'm back!  I ran a week of reduced mileage, 24 miles total, running cautiously and at moderate pace.  Any pains were slight, and subsided shortly after running.  I'm planning a similar week for this week, and next week will begin Week 1 of my marathon training schedule. 

• Sunday, December 20 - 8.0 miles, 1:23:37, 10.45 pace.
• Saturday, December 19 - 6.2 miles, 1:06:15, 10.69 pace.
• Friday, December 18 - 2.0 miles, 20:00, 10.00 pace.
• Thursday, December 17 - 2.0 miles, 19:59, 10.00 pace.
• Wednesday, December 16 - 4 miles, 43:01, 10.75 pace.
• Tuesday, December 15 - 2.0 miles, 20:52, 10.44 pace.

Cold rain was the weather feature of the week, raining almost continuously through Thursday.  Friday through Sunday were cool and sunny, with early morning run temperatures in the 30's and 40's.
