Absolutely terrible running conditions today. Got 9 inches of snow from yesterday and overnight and although some was plowed, the footing was horrible everywhere. I slid all over the place and had to slow it way down and be cautious. On top of it all, I have a sore throat and stuffed up head. All told, 4.7 (kind of got off track with all the snow) in 34:51, 7:25 avg pace.

very cold outside today, winchills below 0 so i went to the indoor track facility at iowa state and did some repeat miles. Struggled a little bit, but it was nice to get 3 reps in. Splits:

1- 5:54.9

2- 5:50.6

3- 5:51.6

Took 3 min break between each. had a decent cooldown and warmup. Did weights and took protein afterwards.

Great workout today. Went inside on the indoor track and did a 3 mile tempo run, 16 laps on that lil 300 meter track. Definitely had to push through the last 1200, but still nailed my pace each lap and was quite steady throughout the workout. Not only were my GHMP miles very even, my warmup and cooldown mileage was done in 7:11 pace. splits:

1- 6:04.7

2- 6:04.9

3- 6:05.6

TOTAL-- 18:15, 6:05 pace; note that all my miles were within 1 second of each other, definitely an encouraging sign going forward.

after the workout took protein and hit the weights

almost jumbo jet day, not only did it feel like I had one on my back, but my first two mile splits were 7:47 and 7:37--a 7:27 or 7:57 on the last mile and I'd of had the airplane trifecta, instead my last one was 7:31 for a total time of 22:56, 7:39 avg. I  needed slow today and thats what I got, so i should be good to go on tomorrow's long-ish run of 7. Around 14 degrees with wc around 2 today.
