The air quality is poor.  During January the gym at work is free.  So I broke down and ran on the dreadmill.  It wasn't dreadful, more like tedious.  

1 mile warm up.  4 x 0.5 mile intervals @ 6:00 w/ .25 mile recovery & 4 x .25 mile intervals @ 6:00 pace w/ .25 mile recovery.  4.1 mile "cool down." 

The treadmill was maxed out at 6:00 min miles/ 10 mph, of course I could have used the incline feature but I was kind of having fun running as fast as the machine would go. 

I just made this run up on the fly.  I had no purpose or direction and I literally never went anywhere.  A training plan and goal race would provide motivation, purpose, and direction but we are leaving for 2.5 weeks of February and I don't know how much running I'll be able to sneak in.  Also, I'll be skiing every week between now and then. :)

Cool...Where are you going? I'm sure you mentioned it already, but I have a short memory.

LOVE IT...Fly running on the fly! What a lame TM though...smoke must be coming off that thing with you maxing it out! :)

HAVE FUN skiing! Utah needs a big snow storm to dump some fresh powder on the slopes! My next ski trip is probably not till Martin Luther King Day; so I hope it snows good on Jan 17.
