AEROBIC BUILDER & 5x45 PICKUPS

I met Dave and Moss at Kneaders at 7:15. It was 18 degrees (feels like 9 degrees) with 12 mph winds from the NW. We warmed up 6.7 miles to the start of the builder route and then did the builder into mostly headwind. I was ten seconds slower per mile than the last few weeks at a 5:25/mile avg. But, that is mostly due to the cold temps and the headwind; the effort was good. The 5x45 second pickups were faster than previous attempts due to some tailwind on those; I averaged 4:16/mile pace on those. Cool down to 2 hours total running time.
