Off.

We went to Toledo last night for a basketball game and stayed at Megan's uncle's. I managed to not get out when we got back. Trying to get consistent, which really means running in the morning but I haven't been able to get out of bed.

PM 4.6 miles, averaged 9:46. HR 148,

Ran in the snow and in the dark (or part of it). My new watch had a dead battery and I am pretty sure I just charged it. Not really happy. Pretty grumpy when I got up from a nap. Didn't feel like running but I got out. I was not expecting snow. Katoolas are stilll working well for me. I am pleased with them.

25' up, 15' tempo, 26' down

The tempo was a bit higher effort than the prescription, more like last week but maybe a tick higher. A little longer with the +5 minutes.

Averaged 6:36

PM: 6.6 miles, averaged 9:45. HR 145.

It was in the mid-twenties but the humidity was almost 60 and it felt very cold. Nice cold plod overall. I've been looking at houses on Zillow and I tried to calculate the square footage of houses as I went by. I ran in some of my regular shoes without a foot pad and my foot felt sort of funny. No numbness or pain, but I will go back to my Altras to be sure even though I hate running in the same shoes on more than one run at a time.

We got a little bit of snow. I wore my Katoolas so the traction was good but was content to just plod. 10:30 opening mile. My weight is way up, so I'm tracking it again.
