It was rainy but the temperature felt good.  First couple of miles were a bit of a drag but I started to feel better once I warmed up.

Just a nice slow, snowy run.  My feet were especially slappy today for some reason.

Woke up at 1 a.m. to check on something for work and spent the next 4 hours working.  I had a pretty good idea how the run was going to be as I headed out the door so I just took it really easy.  I was pretty tired during the first mile but started to feel better as the run progressed.  Pace and heart rate were consistent throughout the run.

Surprisingly, I overslept this morning.  I only had time to get in a few mile and I debated whether or not I should even go out.  Decided that it's better to get in a little running than none at all.  I actually felt really good during the run.

I didn't have quite as much time as I would have liked so I had to cut the run short (was hoping for at least 8 today).  I felt alright although my hamstring was a little more bothersome than usual.  I am discovering that it is taking more of a mental effort to maintain a pace.  I find myself getting distracted easily and letting the pace slow.  It used to be more automatic for me.  I could easily lock into a specific pace and maintain it for most of the run.  On a personal note, I am going on my first date tonight in almost a year.  Much like a marathon, I am pacing myself and starting out slow.

There was a 5k at the rec center this morning but since I'm afraid of racing right now I decided not to do it even though it would have been fun in the snow storm.  The snow was coming down pretty hard the entire run and it was a very wet snow.  My feet were completely soaked.  I kept the pace pretty easy and just tried to enjoy being out there.
