Temperatures got a little warmer this week and melted the snow/ice off the roads. Wind has also been less of a factor so it has been nice to run in shorts again. Looking back at where I was last year at this time getting ready for the Carmel Marathon, the pace on my long run is a lot faster right now and I am covering a greater distance in my speed work than last year. I am also using my heart rate monitor this time around which is holding me more accountable on my speed work.
