PM - Got a dusting of snow in the early morning hours in Asheville and cooler temps and winds so I did not head outdoors; instead I did a little over 6 miles on the treadmill at the Inn fitness center while Tracy was getting a spa - treatment massage.  I watched Carolina eek out the victory over Seattle in the second half.

AM - 2 miles plus some indoor rowing for an easy start this morning before work.

PM - 4 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime - turned it into an impromptu short tempo after the first mile or so to elevate the HR.

PM - 7 miles on the treadmill at the gym next to my office.  The gym must be doing a promotional video or something more significant because there was an entire crew of about 30-40 people with equipment and camera etc; which was fine except they were shooting in the area of the treadmills and had "actors" using the machines I like to use - and so I was relegated to inferior equipment - and it was a bit distracting with production crew milling about and directors shouting "action!" ever few minutes.  

Saw this post elsewhere - even though it seems to be an ad for running wear - I like the film - https://www.tracksmith.com/nodaysoff-film

PM - 7 miles on the treadmill at an uptempo pace.  Dusting to maybe an inch of snow over night - but super windy outside today.
