Easy morning group run before the Polar Plunge.  6.81 miles - 52:29.  QuaffON! paid entry and made donation to Special Olympics for Polar Plunge.  Certainly cold enough outside, and the water was very cold!  A pool was set up in downtown Columbus, and the organized event lined us all up and everybody took the plunge.  Good fun.

AM 10k Series Race in Seymour.  5 degress, with windchill (or whatever "real feel" means) below zero.  Resigned to slower goal time due to temp. and recent training results vs. percieved efforts.  5:45 first mile was too hard, as suspected, but, kept the rest right around 6:00.  not much to say, since I'm pretty dissappointed with current fitness level.  36:54 - 10k for a lonesome 2nd place

AM: TM at gym before work - rainy and chilly outdoors.  10mi. easy - 81:35.  No headphones = boredom and annoying noises for the whole run.  Had to stop for bathroom break after an hour.

PM: lunch run on TM at gym - headphones this time - much better.  Got it up to 9mph for 5mi. of AT and threw in some hills.  10 mi. total - 1:15:00

5:30 am to gym in Col. - TM Long Run w/ 9mi.AT cutdown.  Started with a very slow first 65 minutes (this is when TM shuts off including the "CD" period) working through some very bad dietary decisions yesterday.  Ate a gel and turned on some head phone music as the second rotation of Sports Center came on.  Cranked it up during second 65 up to 9mph.  Feeling a lot better, I worked up to MP for about last 3-4 miles of cutdown.  Ate another gel near the end and feeling much better about life.
