Training

Took my boys and dog out for a walk/run up the hill.  It was pretty laid back and I thing we spent more time breaking ice on the Blackhawk pond than actually running, but I'll claim the miles anyway.  Temp - 40ish, no wind. 

No morning run today.   I planned to go and have lots of excuses but basically lazyness dominated again!  Maybe tomorrow.  

Outside for a windy 5 mile run at noon.  The wind was almost too much today, but the temperature was mid 40's so I held onto my hat and went.  The times were pretty good and if the GPS had not lost signal, I may have ended up with 4 fast (under 7:30 is my outside fast) miles.  I am planning to take my daughter to northern Idaho later this week for a college tour, so my miles may be light again this week.  I will try to run while there, particulaly since it is a much lower elevation and warmer climate.  

Treadmill run in the morning for 4 miles.  2 @ 7:30 and 2 @6:58.

Another windy cool day.  Ran outside for 6 miles at noon.  Temp - 37

Spent the weekend in northern Idaho for parents weekend at the U of I.  I managed to get a hilly early morning run in the town of Lewiston (elevation 750 ft).  The climate is very mild compared to home, in fact these folks are already mowing lawns!  The I felt like superman since I usually run at 4700 ft.  The morning temp was 30 with no wind.
