Pace: 7:57

Surprised by a light dusting of snow this morning. Wasn't really slick though. But I did fall down once when I saw a school bus coming and kind of freaked out and slipped turning a corner.

Today is my New Year's Day. I extended the holidays a week. Now, I'm sick of eating bad and ready to start lifting again.

Cold and slow. 15 degrees. Couldn't really even get it going this morning. At one point I caught myself closing my eyes. I must have been hoping I could sleep-run or something.

 Had trouble getting the pace down again today. Started out ok, but then on the return trip I had a head-wind that seemed to be dragging me back. Plus I had a pretty light dinner last night. And I had trouble with the temperature -- too warm with the wind at my back, too cold when I ran into the wind. Is that enough excuses? If not, I'm sure I could come up with a few more.

Don't know what the problem is right now. I'm not motivated and when I do get out there I can't get the pace up. I think part of it is the cold and that I've been trying to reduce my calorie intake. The temperature was warmer today, around 30, but the humidity was higher to, so it was that cold that sinks into you bones.

A little slick this morning, but not too bad. A bit warmer too -- in the mid-30s. Still feeling tired. Maybe I'll be ready to pick up the pace on Monday after a day off.

Now that's more like it. It's amazing what a decent night's sleep will do for you. When I first got up the roads were icy and my wife told me I would be crazy to try to go out and run. But, since I am in fact crazy, I went on out anyway. By the time I actually hit the road things had dried out a bit and ice wasn't a problem.

Felt good holding a 7:30ish pace the whole way. Finished strong. Ready to face another Saturday.
