Easy 10.2 miles this morning but got a late start (4:54am) due to the fact that I had to shovel 3 inches of snow off of the driveway. That puts me at 36 inches of snow for the year to date at my house. The snow piles are still 5 feet high on the side of my driveway. At least the temperature was a toasty 19'F. Provo River Trail did not get as much snow but the roads and trail are once again snowy and icy the entire route. Ran just under 7:30 pace and felt pretty relaxed. I was noticing that in the past weeks my quads used to be pretty sore and tired by the end of most runs. However, this week my quads have not bothered my but my lower calfs have been sore most of the week. This coincides with me running faster times as well. I am wondering if my running form has changed and thus the faster times and sore calves inspit of the inversion and cold weather. After run played soccer with cadets and did 125 push-ups and 125 sit-ups.

Thanks for the advise Ted, It is cool to have experianced runners giving advise to help us beginners find our way.
