Managed to end the year with a solid five mile run through familiar environs.  Temps remain lower than I'd like (25 degrees Fahrenheit, -4 Celsius), but the recent lack of wind really makes the runs bearable. It was a rare Monday-Tuesday back-to-back that gives me Wednesday off to recuperate from too much wine and lack of sleep from the New Year's celebration.  Tuesday's 5.02 mile run was completed in 46:02, for a 9:10 min/mile pace.  Finished the same route two minutes faster than yesterday's time.  Do two inhalations of Albuterol count as a PED?  Nice cadence throughout the run; legs felt strong, too. Retro Finish Mix on the box. Thursday at the gym.  Four miles scheduled for Friday and nine miles for Saturday.
