That's a wrap on January

 6K @ 6:00 pace today on my meal break.  Probably the last run of the year ....but! 

Easy

 Made it easy today ,  no particular reason just decided to do a wee 3K walk today on my meal break. 

Mental

 Didnt really fell like a repeat of yesterday but absolutely needed to do it again and thats what I did.   It was 11K today the same as yesterday with a 1K walk tacked on the end.  Glad I got it done....next! 

12 hours today

 Working a 12 hour shift so there was enough time to log a 10K @ 6:00 pace today.   

100%

 Feeling much better this week logging a 5K @ 6:00 pace today on my meal break. 

Lunch Run

 Almost didnt run ,  brought long johns instead of a shirt.  Slowed it down to a 7:30 pace logging 5K in my button up cotton shirt ...it wasnt so bad.   

Mid 7

 11K this morning on my last mid.   Stated at a 7:30 pace then cranked it up over the first 5K to a 6:00 pace then held that through 8K where I needed a quick bathroom break returning to a 3K cool down walk @ 12:00 pace.   Its been a tough week working mids sick but better now looking forward to turning back around and getting back to a more normal routine. 

Mid 6

 5K ,  walk @ 12:00 pace.   

Mid 5

 Same run as yesterday...seemed a wee bit easier. 

Mid 4 - Picking it up a little!

 First 2K @ 7:30 pace then picked it up to a 6:45 pace until the 3.5 K mark then did the last one at a 6:00 pace.  Goal is to get back to a 6:00 pace unlike last offseason 7:30 pace.   Still a little congested and tired but now worse for the ware...I think! 

Mid 2&3

 Back at it after my latest ski trip.  I am still sick but feeling much better so I was able to crank out a couple of 5K at a slower 7:30 pace yesterday and again today.    

Mid 1

 3K walk to start off another round of night shifts.  Had to walk I am on the tail end of a cold and am adjusting to mids as well as crossing 6 time zones a day ago!   

Better

 Got  a great sleep last night ,  better day today logging a 5 km run @ 6:00 pace today on my meal break.  

Tired

 Tired ,  logged a 3.2 k walk on my meal break...not tired any longer!
