| Because of the crappy air I opted for a treadmill run today. I changed the speed every half mile up and down to mix it up. I think it is my first run of this distance under 7min pace in a long time. Avg. 6:45 HR ~177

| Air still crappy but I have to get into work. Cut the commute short though and just went through mid-campus. A little overdressed but the news had the windchill at 10F.

| Well the air hadn't cleared out as much as I thought yesterday. C5 said one thing but TWC and everyone else said something else. In any case I was hoping the snow would come early so that I could have "clear" skies for my run today. I waited as long as I could and it did start snowing during the run but I'm sure too late. I did a very modified home loop in an attempt to find a movie from a Redbox that was working, needed a break after a good writing day... Avg. 7:43
