Quite slippery in places, but I managed. Should have put my Katoolas on.

PM: 10 miles, averaged 10:20. HR 147.

Quite icy in places and I had to snow shoe some of the sidewalks, but most of the neighborhood street weren't terrible. Getting some miles in the last few days has improved my mood considerably. Still waiting on parts for my bike, so I decided to buy a power meter and have them install that while I am at it. Apparently it's the only way to train for cycling.

It will likely be a higher running week since it will likely be Thursday or Friday I am guessing before I get it back.

Did a sporadic pickup the last 4 miles for a progression. They weren't fast but faster than I have been running. Still very slick in places.

Felt pretty solid today. Did a couple laps of the ~2 mile loop around the neighborhood to avoid ice. Worked out nicely.

Weighed myself this morning for the first time in about a month. Ugly!

Lunch/PM: 13.2 miles, averaged 8:41. HR 165.

Turned 35 today. Ran in the 34 degree rain to celebrate. HR was very high for the perceived effort, but I'm overweight and out of shape. Good run.

Got a call from the shop that my bottom bracket on the frame is cracked, so they initiated the warranty process. I am hoping it is covered. I'm guessing I have a decent sized bill already coming to me. Looks like it will be at least a week or two before I get into training. I'll likely have to do a few spin classes starting this week. They are actually pretty fun. Definitely a good workout.

Had a nice dinner and evening with Megan.
