AM - 7 miles on the treadmill.  Wind chills at -3 and snow and ice kept me from wanting to venture outside today.   We got maybe an inch of accumulation of snow but this area does not have a whole lot of public works to treat roads or sidewalks for those rare conditions - so it seemed safer and more comfortable indoors.  

AM - between 4.75 and 5 mils this morning with Dan and Rosie on the trail.  Temperature was right at 20 degrees - but not too windy.  Dan had been out of town to see his mother who is having some medical/health issues and so we caught up today and he spent a long time processing / discussing it with me.   

AM - 4.5 miles early with Dan in the neighborhood ahead of an early flight to Orlando for work.  Still the 20's but not quite as cold.   Return tomorrow evening so I will get a run in some shorts weather for a day.   

AM - 5 miles in Orlando at the airport.   My company had a sales conference at the Hyatt Regency which is at the airport in Orlando.  When I checked in I asked the desk if they had any running trails or routes as some hotels do and so they told me about a running track on the roof of the parking garage which also the helicopter pad.  So, I went up there at 5:30 am, and it was dark and only lit up with the red landing lamps for the helicopter pad.  From what I could tell there may have been a "track" at one time with a lane painted on the surface around a wider perimeter of the pad but it was well faded and parts of it were blocked by temporary construction fencing on a couple of sides - at any rate, I found my way around at least a larger loop than just the helipad which worked out to be about 6 laps to a mile - and though I considered bailing and going either downstairs to the treadmill in the gym or figuring out a run on the roadways leading up to the airport, I kept going instead on the circuit until I reached 5 miles.  Although I could not in good conscience endorse this as a good option for running for anyone staying there, it is an option, and one that made for a converstaion or two with my colleagues.  

AM - 5 miles solo on the Nix road route.  Cold with some spitting snow at times.  Felt a little slow and clunky particularly on the hills.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan on the Milton Trail.  Good to catch up with him.  He shared updates on his mom's health situation and seems to be in a better place.   Cold again today in the mid 20's.  I am headed to WV to be with Tracy and her parents for the weekend.  Significantly colder there with lots of snow on the ground.  May need to consider alternatives to running outside this weekend. 

AM - 10 miles on the gym treadmill in WV.  Very cold (feels like 0) with lots of snow already on the ground for the last couple of weeks, but there was snow and freezing rain overnight and the option of running indoors made sense.  Bought a weekend pass and it is open 24 hours.
