Artichoke's Running Blog (Ken Spence)

10:00 a.m. run on a cloudy but warmer day at least.  It's weird to say the mid 20's is warm, but comparatively speaking it really seemed nice out this morning.   Did 8 very slow miles with Gina, but she had no real problems with it.  She hasn't done a long run in a few weeks and has been doing just a couple on the treadmill 2 or 3 days per week.  So it went fairly well.   Still snow and ice on some of the less traveled streets so we stayed on the main roads.  Did the town loop.  Down Droubay to 1000 N. then west past Main on the newly paved roadway.  Up around the old rodeo grounds to Coleman and more or less zig-zagged back to her place.  I did a  few more and finished with 12 total, very slow except the finishing mile in 7:52.  Good to be off that dang dreadmill!  But, more storms coming tonight, tomorrow, and into Monday.  Supposed to run with Tina tomorrow morning, but we'll see how the weather is.  Last week we were on snow-pack.  Oh, to live in Yuma, AZ this time of year!  Okay, well maybe not Yuma, but somewhere warm would be nice.  A good week with 45 miles.  That's great mileage for me this time of year and with this weather and especailly with most of it on the treadmill.
