Since starting my marathon training program a little over a week ago, I and my entire family have been sick with colds and flu. Unfortunately, my running mileage goal for the week suffered accordingly. Hopefully there will not be any more major disasters, the weather will improve, and I can get the miles needed to prepare for Ogden. Ran outside from home today. The roads have been steadily improving and are now mostly clear. However, there are stll giant walls of snow on both sides of the road, so running on the edge to avoid traffic is tough. When I started out there was a rain/snow combination at about 34 F with a brisk head wind. I figured the wet mess would get old quick and planned to head back home after 5 miles or so. At 3 miles out the snow and wind ended and I found the conditions were nice for a longer run. I timed myself to the half marathon point at 1:46 and then dogged it up the hill for the last half mile for a total time of 1:51 |
