| Opted to sleep in last moment. Then was snow bound after church. It was nice to spend some time at home. The temp was fine for a PM run but did a treadmill run instead. The only thing with the treadmill is I like to push the pace to get it over quicker... Tried to start slow and then just played with the speed to break up the humdrum nature of running in one spot. |

AM: Up at 4:45am and then out the door. Upper body a little sore from shoveling that wet-wet snow we had yesterday. The streets were still very sloppy but at 5am there is not much traffic so much of the run I was able to be in the middle of the roads where it was a little clearer. The final mile it started to snow again but it was barely freezing if at all and the "snow" looked more like mini-hail. The run was slow but felt fine. Avg. 9:45
PM: Treadmill run after dinner, quick. Typical Monday. Back at work but about to go home...

AM: Just blah this morning. Ended up sleeping in an extra hour. It was a little cooler this morning but I wore less so I was a bit chilly. With the really "warm" weather the last few days and now the cold the way in was a sheet of ice. Luckily it was rough enough that it was very slippery. Just took it slow for a commute run. 2.5 mi Avg. 10:14
PM: The day went much better than yesterday. Also, after a day of traffic and above freezing temps the streets were more or less ice free for my run. I did another modified home loop. 8 mi Avg. 8:06 HR 132

| Fortunately, unfortunately I'm not yet an ultra runner. Otherwise I would have had to have been up at 4AM to start my 32 mile run this morning. Instead and more related to the fact that I have three sniffly head girls at home I slept in this morning and just did the campus commute run. I think next year though I'll have to run the 33... 5 mi Avg. 9:28 HR 130 |

| Up early to be home in time to make breakfast for the family. I combined portions of three different runs including MM 2-10.5. I could tell the air quality still wasn't great but I pushed the pace a little and did two miles mixed in faster. Didn't see a whole lot of people but did run into Robin and some of your friends and spoke with her briefly. Overall happy with the pace for the effort. Mi 21 Avg. 7:18 HR 152 |
