1hr 13min 30 sec on the treadmill after work. it was so hot running inside that i had to stop at 7.5 miles and take in some water. the treadmill is so much more efficient than running outside in regards to getting as many miles in as little time as possible. the roads are all icy in the morning, especially the dirt roads so i think i'm going to be running much more on the treadmill the next few weeks before it starts to be light in the morning. 

 i can't believe i took a full 4 days off from running. i went up to smuggler's notch in VT to ski with some friends on sat and sunday and i was too exhausted to run yesterday after the 6hr drive home sunday night. hopefully i can get back into it. I have so much less motivation to run when i can't achieve at least 70 miles a week on the running calendar. Without a number to work towards i just don't feel as motivated.

5 miles am on treadmill in just under 41 mins. quads were REALLY sore. I hope it's not b/c i'm out of shape from not running for 4 days. I'm guessing i'm just not used to the flatness and constant rhythm of the treadmill and perhaps even the speed which seems pathetic of going 7:30 miles :) 

5 miles pm in just under 40 mins. quads not as sore but ate dinner before the run which was no good. also the heat was turned up to 70 in the basement which was no good. had a little episode of spots in my head and dizziness like i used to have but i ran through it and 5 mins later was fine.

i'm going to a funeral tomorrow. someone's dad at work fell on some ice and hit his head and died from brain swelling. the son was there when it happened. terrible!
