warmed up then went down to a local ghetto track to do some repeats.  Quit at the start of the 4th 800.  I just wasn't feeling it.  I start my new job tomorrow and I am nervous and can't focus on running for some reason.

first day at my new job way out in Ashburn.  The commute wasn't so bad but it was 22 degrees and windy, dark when I left and dark when I came home.  I'm not used to the new surroundings and routines.  It takes time for me to settle in and get used to the new routine.  The good news is that my supervisor is flexible and I can get my run in at my lunch break even though the locker room facility is far away from the office. I'll try it tomorrow.

8 miles easy+  Super cold and windy (for the DC area) about 25 degrees.  Hard to get the legs warm and I think my hard NW Ohio cold tolerance has worn off since I moved here over two years ago.

I only got in 8 instead of 10 because of the amount of time I have for lunch + abs/situps + shower.  I think I will start implementing some morning runs of 4 miles to my routine a few days a week like I used to do last summer when I ran at lunch.

Still not super happy with the new routine and commute but I'll adjust.  I just hope I can get back into some good training like I had a few weeks ago.  I need my tempos and workouts back.

8 miles. Flipping super windy and cold.  The wind felt like death running into it but going the other way it felt like a pleasant winter day.  Snow on the ground.  Pushed the pace.
