Back in Vermont.  It snowed last night and this morning.  The roads are very slushy.  It felt like I was running in sand.  8.09 miles.  1:02:58. 7:47/mi. 139BPM.

Snowy and 15 degrees.  The roads were very slippery.  I had zero traction for the entire run.  This was a very slow run, but long days are mostly about time on your feet anyways.  15.38 miles. 2:09:17. 8:24/mi. 138 BPM.

Easy 6 miles indoors.  Pretty tight today from yesterday's slippery long run.  I loosened up near the end.  46:02. 7:40/mi. 131BPM.

4 mile tempo run indoors. 2 mile warm up, 2 mile cooldown.  8 miles total.  It felt OK.  I haven't done much quality work, so it'll take a few sessions before I feel comfortable.  The indoor track isn't conducive to fast running, so tempo pace running is about the max I'll try.  Between the woggers and the tight turns, I'm afraid I'll get hurt.

Outside on Middle Road.  0 degrees with a stiff northern breeze. My hat was frozen to my head y the end.  I worked a little too hard for an easy day, but the cold was getting to me so I sped up a bit.  8.79 miles.  1:07:13. 7:38/mi. 141BPM.
