AM - 6 miles on Riley's treadmill in the basement before church.  Good amount of snow and ice on the ground and I did not feel like slipping again after yesterday.   

AM - 5.5 miles mid-morning from Riley's house. Good snow overnight probably 6-8 inches.   Wore her crampons in case of any slick spots or ice but the roads were fairly clear.  Lots of folks put snow blowing their driveways or shoveling.    Sun was out and it was causing the snow on branches and power lines to drop sporadically during the run.  Started slowly as my back is still sore but ran reasonably close to normal training pace after about 3 miles.   

Day off from running - travel day back to ATL

AM - just under 5 miles on the trail with Dan and Rosie.  Good to catch up after being out of town for 5 days.  

AM - 5 miles on the treadmill - as it was 39 dagrees with heavy rain and sleet outside when I awoke.   Dan had some medical injections in his knee yesterday and needed to take a light day on the bike anyway.  

AM - 4 miles on the trail very slowly with Dan and Rosie.  Dan had an injection in his knee for degenerative arthritis on Wednesday and the doctor told him to go easy for a few days.  It was cool, foggy/drizzly out - the prelude to a winter storm coming in the next 36 hours - which possibly will find us just on the fringe of the really severe weather hopefully.  Meanwhile everyone is prepping as if a hurricane is on the way.  

AM - 9 miles with the guys.   Ben joined us after the first 3 and because he was doing 23 we turned back well before he was going to turn.  He's so fit and fast - I am sure he appreciated the company for a few miles but was probably just as happy to speed up to his normal 7:30-7:45 long run training pace after we turned back.
