Outdoor streak ended

Running:
I need to recap a few runs.  On Friday I got out for 7.5 miles during my lunch break.  I ran my Springdale loop in 1:2:01.  Based on the forecast I knew I would need to get out for my long run on Saturday so I'm glad I got out early.  I did the same 15 mile course as the previous week.  I ran it Saturday in very close to the same time as last week in 2:6:59.  So up to this point the week was exactly the same as the previous one.  At this point I don't see much need for running more than around two hours.  Too many miles too fast will likely get me burned out a bit before I have anything even planned for sure.  Sunday morning the rain was really coming down.  I knew I had to run in the morning if I was to get out, so I opted to end my outdoor streak for January and just did 7.5 miles on the treadmill in exactly 1 hour.  This gave me 53 miles for the week and 179 MTD.  Since I had a little easier weekend than anticipated I got out early this morning for 8 additional miles in 1:5:58.  I will likely still work out at my lunch break today, but no additional running.  I'll see how the week goes, but maybe I won't take an off day.  Just an easy/shorter day or two.
