Snowed in.  It was 5 degrees and snowing this morning.  It hasn't let up at all.  St Mike's gym is closed this weekend for winter break.  It'll be tough for me to keep training until school is back in session on Jan 5.  I'll just have to brave the outdoors.

12 miles indoors at St. Mike's.  1:30:34. 7:32/mi. No HRM.  It was frigid and windy outside today.  After tomorrow, St. Mike's gym is closed until Monday, Jan 5.  I'll have to be brave and run outside, or use the treadmills on the air base.

The weather was absolutely nasty today.  Very windy and rain/sleet.  The indoor track was closed so I had no choice but to use the treadmill at the base gym.  I can't explain why I dislike running on the treadmill so much.  I just don't care for it.  I managed to put in 4 miles before I gave up on it.  The good news is that there are very few times when I do not have access to an indoor running track.  The weather looks pretty good next week so I'll be able to train outside comfortably.

Anne and I spent Christmas Eve and with all of her brothers and sisters at Anne's sister's big farm house down the road in Ferrisburg.  We stayed up late, drank wine and visited.  The next morning I got up early and ran 8 easy miles before we opened gifts.  It was very quiet and peaceful.  I only saw 1 or 2 cars.  1:01:00, 7:38/mi, 143BPM.

Middle Road. 6.26 miles, 7:47/mi, 141BPM. 15 degrees and no wind.  I tried out some Christmas gifts, running mittens and new running pants.  I am very happy.  My hands stayed toasty warm.

Middle Road loop.  It was about 40 degrees this morning.  I started out easy but I noticed a guy about 1 minute ahead of me a mile into the run.  I chased him down over the next 2 miles and we chatted for a bit.  He figured I wanted to run faster since I had closed on him so quickly.  I didn't realize we had sped up until we hit a headwind while heading up a steep hill.  So... it turned into a tempo run for me.  He was in much better shape, so I just tried to hang on.  Splits for the tempo miles: 7:13, 7:13, 7:21, 7:53 (huge hill), 7:00.  162 BPM during the tempo and I hit 170 BPM on the hill.  Overall time: 50:09 over 6.77 miles.
