Philippians 4:13

6M in 45 minutes before heading to church.  The roads were slick and icy and the Sunnyside pathway was spotty (clear, icy, snowy, slushy) so it was an inconsistent pace where I was really watching my foot placement.  Even with this, I nearly went down on the last turn back to my house in my neighborhood.

Had a hard time getting up this morning (first work week of the new year...ugh!) but finally got out the door for an easy 6M in colder weather on the Sunnyside pathway.  Easy pace on the clear path (except for the curbs at road crossing...hard piled up snow) in 51:12.   (Trigon)

5M at lunch on the greenbelt on warmer and sunny day.  Started out for the first half with Dan S. then picked it up for the second half at a slow MP.  Overall run time of 35:10.   Along the way we were stopped and interviewed by a local news channel about being crazy runners doing this in the cold, snowy and icy conditions!  (Progrid)

6.25M early in 52:27. Warmer and on most clear paths, just really easy as I was tired this morning and just didn't have "oompf" today. I will try to run harder at lunch. (Trigon)

4.2M at lunch time at the site for my normal short run out here.  Total time for 4M on the road was 26:48 (last mile at slow MP), with a 0.1M warmup and 0.1M cooldown back to the building.  Mostly cloudy, about 30 degrees...nice short run.  (Progrid)

6M early in warm (38 degrees) but windy weather conditions.  It made the pathway either dry and clean or slick and slushy, so very inconsistent.  Overall time fo 47:24 for the run over the patchy path.  (Trigon)

The arctic blast is quickly coming down on us.  I wasn't expecting the weather to change quite so quickly from this morning, so I was underdressed for today's run and thus cut it short to a 5K in 20:30.  It was 18 degrees outside with 25mph winds, creating a wind chill temp of 4 degrees!  Slower out miles into the wind, fast miles back to the building. And it is going to continue to get colder throughout the rest of the day and night!  BRRR!  (Progrid)

-8 F outside this morning...TM at the gym was beckoning!  1M warmup at 6:53, 2M at 6:10-6:20ish, then 4M at 5:40-5:50 tempo pace, then the last mile at 6:20ish.  Total time for the run of 49 minutes exactly (6:07 avg pace) listening to Kiss Greatest Hits (Lick it Up and Heaven's On Fire rock...tempo run music!    May or may not get out at lunch today depending on weather and work.  (Stratos)

6.1M around the greenbelt at lunch in 5 F and no wind.  Total time of 42:47, dressed in my "heavy" gear and I was actually quite warm due to the sunshine I think.  A good run in the cold weather.  (Progrid)

Got up a bit late and made it to the gym late so only a 6.5M run on the TM this morning (it was -10 F outside again!) in 40:18 (6:12 avg pace).  Left quad a bit tender this morning, probably due to the hard run yesterday for the first time in about a week.  Overall a good run.  (Stratos)

6.15M around the greenbelt at lunch in sunny, cold (5 degrees) and calm conditions in 44:50.  Nice and easy run, everything felt good, just took it easy in the cold.  (Progrid)

Slept in a bit this morning after a late night at a party with friend's, so I didn't get out until about 8:30am.  Mostly cloudy, 5 degrees but no wind.  Ran through Snake River Landing and around the greenbelt then back home with an extension down Sunnyside.  At the 6M mark I had to make a pit stop and my stomach was not quite right the rest of the run.  13.15M in 1:33:41 (7:08 avg).   Nice to get back above 70 miles again, time to start ramping up the training.  

My family wasn't home yet and I felt good after a quick stop, so I went back out for another 2.85 at slow MP to finish off the run.
