Easy family run with Heather and Jack. Croissants followed. They were awesome.

St. Mary's/Golf Course Loop.  This was a tough run because of all the black ice and cruddy snow  I seemed to encounter at every turn.  The temperature was great, but the conditions on the ground . . . not so much. The hope is to have some kind of consistency in my running this week after last week's rollercoaster.

Woke up too late to run with the Black Sheep, so I set my thoughts on a 4 mile tempo run in Liberty Park.  When I saw that it was 20 degrees out, I figured anything I could do what be fine.  Running fast didn't seem like it was going to happen very easily. So I warmed up three miles to 600 E./500 So. where I began the tempo, heading toward the park.  First mile, 5:55--feeling good but also feeling some of the christmas treats I ate at work yesterday.  Second mile 6:02. This second mile just slays me. I feel like I'm running hard, but it turns out very slow. Third mile; GI tract is unhappy, 5:56.  Fourth mile, 5:53.  All in all, pretty slow but given the cold weather, not so bad I suppose.  There was quite a bit of wind on half of the eastern side of the park (the "uphill" side).  After a trip to the 7-11, cooled down 3 miles to home.

Nine miles easy with Josh around the U, Avenues and Capitol Hill.  Then an easy mile back to home on my own after dropping Josh off at his house. Twenty three degrees. I wore a jacket and felt overdressed for the first couple of miles. After that it was fine.

Radda run with the Radda crew.  A few of us went on an adventure via the canal route to see what the conditions were like.  There was a lot of snow and some poor footing, but runnable.  Canal starting to freeze. Soon we'll be able to skate that section.  Returned to Radda via Haven Lane and the Wander Lane route.  Cold this morning!

Whoa, not a great night's sleep.  JStarting at about 4am, Jack started a contest with himself to see how loud he could cry for an hour. He won. We lost.  Usually he's fairly peaceful in the night, but last night was rough.  So I didn't get up to run until 6:50.  I ran the Ensign loop, fairly easy pace.

Cold run starting at 6am from Foothill Village with a group of 5. I forgot my watch so all distances are approximate. I'll need to GMap it.  After running about 3 miles, we circled back to pick up a few more at 6:30.  Then it was every man for himself, with a big mix of distances among us. Sam, Kimmie, Oskar, and I ran another 11-12 miles (I'm thinking longer), but I'll split the difference for this accounting.
