Recovery run + core conditioning.

9:13 am, 31°F, 75% humidity, winds calm, light snow. The snow was sticking to the grass, but not really to the streets.

I had planned to get up and run early this morning, but since I didn't absolutely have to, when the time came to get up, I didn't do it. Instead, I slept until about 6:15, then got up and got kids off to school, and then ran. The weather didn't bother me too much, except when I was heading north. It wasn't really windy. Officially, there was no wind, but there was just enough that when I was going north, the snow felt like little pins pricking me in the face. I hardly had my eyes open and my eyelashes were covered with ice. But my eyelashes thawed when I turned and started going a different direction.

AP: 9:51. Splits: 10:35, 9:58, 9:38, 9:27, 9:37.

I've got less than an hour now to get showered, eat something, and get on the road to Moab.

Glad you got to sleep in a little bit today. Good luck with your half marathon tomorrow - the weather should be nicer than it was this morning. Yeah, those little "ice needles" can sure sting the face!

Good luck. BOOOOOOOOOOOO cold!

I hope to get back there some time again.

Just wanted to let you know that we made it to Moab. At one point I wasn't sure that more poor mini van was going to make it up the mountain on the snow and ice just beyond Denver. I was spinning my wheels a lot but managed to make very slow forward progress and not run off the road or into one of the even slower moving semis. It was a white knuckle experience. But then the road got better and we made it without incident and in decent time.

Glad you made it there! Have a good race!
