Snowday in bg, so all classes were cancelled.

I ran 3 miles down to a burger place and then ran another mile while they were getting the food ready. Then I ran a mile to a campus park and hung out there and ate food for a while. Finished with 3 miles back home. 7:15 average. Felt pretty good today.

Had a few cross-training workouts this week, but only 2 runs.

Today I ran to the gym, averaged my typical freezing temperature pace of just over 7:00 minutes per mile.

Got on the treadmill and ran 3 miles of .5 at 6:53 pace, .25 at 5k pace. So I ended up doing 3 miles at marathon pace and one mile at anout 5:20 pace, which is very generous for my 5k pace rn. But so is 6:53 for marathon atm. So these are more goal paces for later this year. I ran a mile at 7:30 to cool down on the treadmill and then ran home. It was demoralizing this week to have to go back to running in BG. There's over 2 feet of snow on the ground and very little room to run on the roads. So its either constantly dodge cars or treadmill, neither of which are inviting in the least. But monday I'm going to do a slow easy long run of 12-14 miles while I get my oil changed. I'll start at the car dealership and then run across town to planet fitness, do 4-6 miles there, and then run back. I think the worst of the winter is over.
