Greenbelt - 1:07
Very slick out today on the greenbelt, but a better option than the roads. A few dry patches here and there, but mostly crunchy and icy. Workouts will be tough if this weather continues, and the treadmill will be the only real way to run fast. Despite the footing, it was very scenic today and it felt great to get out.

Treadmill+ - 54:30
Jogged around Gold's for 10 minutes outside, then did the rest on the treadmill, including 5 miles at approx. marathon pace (6:22 to 6:18). Good strength workout that required some concentration - especially on the boring treadmill.
Weights & core - 20 minutes. A really strong full body circuit-type workout.

BK Track/Campus + neighborhoods - 57:11
This was a battle today, and very draining for a 7.5 miler. I tried the canals, but the snow was too deep, so I hit the BK track, which wasn't much better. I finally settled on some laps around the BK parking lot, trying to avoid the ice. I finished up on the roads which weren't actually as bad as I thought. To average 7:35 pace was pretty good for today! And I'm glad I got outside rather than running on the treadmill.

Treadmill - 1:22
I wasn't up to battling the mountains of slush today. Those who did, you're tougher than me. I opted for my longest treadmill run ever. I watched "Taxi Driver" during my run and just kept it super easy.
Weights, core and stretching - 20 minutes easy

Run to South and back+ - 1:05
I ventured outside this afternoon and had a very tough run on the crusted ice. I really was hoping today would be better. I think tomorrow I'll try the greenbelt or go to the gym and hit the treadmill. Overall pace was 8:11/mile and I don't think I could have gone any faster without falling down.
Despite the run being tough, the weather wasn't too bad (20's?) and it was nice to at least get outside.

A.M. - Greenbelt - 20:22
Dropped Emily off at work, and I wanted to see what kind of shape the greenbelt was in. I jogged 20 minutes with Leo in a pretty solid snowstorm. The greenbelt is runnable at about 8:00/mile pace, I would guess.
P.M. - Neighborhoods + treadmill - 52:40
Ran 29 minutes on the roads, and got some strange looks from people. I was able to manage 8:15/mile pace so it wasn't too awful. Then I hopped on the treadmill and did 4 x 3:00 hard at 6.5% incline with 2 minute recoveries. Felt pretty good on these.
