freezing cold, like 5 degree windchill. Wanted to go 13, just was beaten down by the conditions and my stomach was upset during the run. 7:30 avg, 52:30 total for 7 miles.

Today was tough because it was so cold outside. It is really hard to run repeats as fast as I want when its so cold. I managed 2x1600 then 2x800 then 2x400. Times werent really that important because after the first one, I realized it was just an effort-based workout.

Where to start today haha. There is a blizzard going on here in extreme southeastern South Dakota. There is at least 7 inches of snow already on the ground and with the 25 mph winds, there are drifts already at least 3-5 feet high in places plus its still snowing. But I decided to be crazy and go run in it and it was super hard to do as there was no where to run and i had no footing basically the whole time. Ended up around 4.2 miles in 34:10 or 8:08 pace, but it was just brutal conditions to run. The cold not so bad, but the snow was terrible to run in, especially in terms of foot planting and traction.

Took yesterday off as a result of the freezing cold windchill and there still being a ton of snow on the roadways and sidewalks. Today was a better day. Still pretty slippy in spots, but overall everything was pretty well cleared. temp was better too, 21 degrees with windchills around 11. Well better than last night (-20 windchill). Splits for my 7 miles:

1- 7:08.8

2- 7:11.6 (14:20, 7:10 avg)

3- 7:04.6

4- 7:24.7 (28:49, 7:12 avg)

5- 7:07.7

6- 7:12.1

7- 7:16.6

TOTAL-- 50:26, 7:12 pace

Overall, a great run given the cold conditions and sloppy footing in places. I enjoyed getting out and getting a good workout in after being couped up most of this week.

tried for a 4 mile tempo today, it was disastrous....I'm done racing for the season. May run casually til the end of the year, then will be forced into a rest break while I travel to Europe. My legs need a break and this weather sucks to run in.
