AM: lunch run at gym on TM.  5 mile cut down.  Started at 9.3mph down to 10.4 mph on 1%.  34:47.  Followed up with 15 minutes of pushups and attempted pull ups.

PM: run over to North side track from house at moderate effort in the snow and slush.  Got about 5 inches Monday - About 6 miles and right into the track workout with the 3 people that showed up.  Had a couple guys come over earlier in the day and shovel off lane 1!! That's how we roll in Indiana!! Workout was 12x400m with every 4th interval "hammer" We ran about 85's and 80's for hammers.  As it got dark near the end it started getting really cold.  I think we were in the single digits already when the sun was up.  Fortunately one of the other guys was also running home and was going the same way for most of the run back home.  19.7 miles. Total in about 2:35.  Pretty depleted over last 2 miles, handheld.of water and 2 gels consumed.  Oh yeah - New trail shoes broken in - Saucony Peregrine.

PM: Warmer but still snowing.  We have had 2 x 4+ inch snows here in southern Indiana in the last couple days.  Run in the snow - tried the old Rocky 4 workout with some deep snow running.  put on Yaktrax and aimed for the deep spots along unplowed areas of roadway to see how tough it really was (It is).  Threshold effort to make 10 minute pace.  Average snow depth ~ 4 inches.  6.37mi. total - 1:02:52.
