| 9:30 a.m. run for 5+ miles. Still on sloppy roads, but warmed up to 33 degrees this morning. Roads may be better for tomorrow's run. | | Add Comment |

| Nice sunny morning today. 10:00 a.m. I did 6 miles in 51:49 at about 8:37 pace overall. Didn't really push it much, but it seems that these old legs do a bit better after I've been up and moving around some. Fastest mile was onlyl 8:11, so I wasn't going all that fast at any particular part. | | Add Comment |

| 5 miles at 11:30 a.m., same route as yesterday, but at easy pace. 44:31, 8:54 pace overall. Legs feel really tired and hamstrings are a bit sore. I don't feel ready for a 12-14 miler tomorrow. It was quite warm today, nearly 50 degrees. The warm before the storm coming. Weather is supposed to change tonight and be bad in the morning again. Temperatures are supposed to drop and be very cold on Sunday. I go back to 5 a.m. runs on Monday, so I'm not looking forward to that. I've been off work for the holidays since December 20th. It's been great, but the time flew by! | | Add Comment |

| 14 miles LSD on frozen tundra. 6 to 7 inches of fresh snow overnight. The roads were icy and frozen most of the run. With the sun out, the cleared roads began melting and I had to stop and remove my spikes after about 9 miles. It really turned out to be a beautiful and clear sunny day, even though it was quite cold still. We must have had lake effect snowfall overnight, because not that much was reported from yesterday's storm. Really slow and easy. I'm feeling stiff and a bit sluggish, but I was glad to get in a 14 miler two weeks before Painter's Half-marathon in St. George. 40 miles this week. It's supposed to be even colder tomorrow with another storm coming in Monday morning. Tomorrow is a rest day and I may be doing 5 on the treadmill early Monday morning. | | Comments(2) |
