I have to leave this morning for travel so wanted to get out early this morning.  Didn't want to run on the snowy roads in the dark so just ran on the TM.  I felt good this morning but just ran easy.  Not a bad run on the TM as the time passed pretty fast since I was watching TV.  Watched a lot on the tragdey in AZ.  That is a really sad story.

It was snowing this morning and slick roads so ran inside on the TM.  I was dragging today for some reason.  I just felt tired so I took it real easy and shortened the run.  Hopefully will feel more energy tomorrow.  Other than being tired the run went ok.  Nothing special just trying to get in the miles and get back up to normal mileage.

Huntsville, Al:  The big snow in the south made it impossible to run outside.  They had the roads clear but the shoulders were still covered and piled up from the plows so nowhere to run.  I ran on the hotel TM and started off easy then picked it up as I went along.  I felt kind of tired today and the pace seemed harder than it should have.

Huntsville, Al:  Wed was a super long day and I was wiped out.  I had an early morning on Thurs as well so got some extra sleep and didn't run yesterday.  Had another long day on Thur but got up early today to get the run in.  On the TM again since conditions outside haven't changed.  I felt better today but still started off easy.  Today I picked it up more and the last 3 miles were closer to 7:30 pace.  Extra rest yesterday probably helped.
