Another day of hotel treadmills... it could be worse so I am thankful for the run. Heading home tomorrow afternoon, might actually have better roads.

I'm back home now :) That is nice, but I am beat. So no more treadmill. This was a tough 5 miles. It was about 23 degrees which was not horrible, but we have lots of snow. Most of my run was in 4 inches of snow. It was slippery in parts as I lost my footing several times and almost fell once. It took over an hour to do 5 miles and yes I was running. My legs were actually a bit sore after the run - I am assuming from all the resistance from the snow and extra clothes. Makes me wonder if I should use a gym for a few months....

Okay still lots of snow and I did not want to trudge like yesterday! So I had a one day pass for the gym close by and used it. 10 TM miles after warmup - mid-last 4 a bit faster than 10k pace. 

Then shopping... ugh!
