PM: 4 miles easy

Ran in the snow and dark. Wasn't feeling it, so I just ran 4. Icy snow cutting into my eyes. The Yaktrax I have kind of suck. Screw shoes are much better but don't last if you run on dry pavement at all. I'm thinking of a pair of Katoolas.

PM: 11 miles 80 minutes on the treadmill.

+ very light core

Started at 8.0 and increased .2 every mile through the hour. Couldn't quite hold 10.0 and cut the pace back down for the last two minutes.

Signed up at Planet Fitness. I think it will work for my needs, and it's cheap enough that I don't feel guilty.

Waited on a tired for the car and didn't have time for any more so I ran more moderately than I might have otherwise.

PM: 9 miles in 70 minutes on the treadmill, mostly easy with a mile at 10.0 at the top of the hour to boredom bust.

Not a great week. Mileage has been up and down. That's okay overall as I'm not needing to be as committed as I usually am but I still don't like it.
