Dawn Patrol. Layered up for yet another six-mile maintenance run around campus. Temps in the mid-30s with a bit of wind out of the North. Started slow, per custom, with a 9:43 first mile, but finished strong. Completed the 6.03 miles in 55.56 for a 9:17 min/mile average pace.  Blink 182 on the box.  Six planned for Friday with a ten-miler for Saturday. Will register for the Redbud Classic 10K in April and the Memorial Half Marathon for late May.  The full Marathon is not in the cards for this year.  Washed out by missing three weeks of training early in the game.  I'm not stoked, but remain a realist, which is the impetus for reevaluating expectations at this stage of the game. Aloha.
