Winter Storm Advisory Run. Ran to the PG rec center on the upper back roads to avoid  a collision with a car since there was nowhere to run but the tire tracks or snow piled high sidewalks.  I ran on both.  It was quite the site.  Knee bend running then sloshing then skidding to remove two inches of snow from the bottom of my shoes then finding a brief patch of wet pavement where the plows just put ice melt on then avoiding the snow plows themselves.    Pace to rec center a whopping 9:51 for 3.08Then 2 miles around the track at 8:15 avg. Then 5.25 miles on the TM (1 % grade) starting at 8:20 pace and ending at 6:40 pace (briefly).  I went up in increments by .1 mile per hour every half mile for the 4.5 miles.  The last .5  miles I was so not wanting to run speed at all so I took the frog in the warm water approach to speedwork.  I went up in increments of  .1 miles per hour for every .05 miles ran until at 6:40 pace for .05 miles.    How's that for pathetic?  Avg pace for 5 = 7:54.  Cooldown .25 miles.   I was not into the TM at all and my  clogged sinuses have made a ravin' comeback.  I coughed all night long.  I forgot to take  1/2 of benadryl and midnight is too late to take that so I am not comatose the rest of the day.  Ran home 3.06 miles at 9:13 pace (wow, an improvement). Off to work tonite and tomorrow night.   Total mileage 13.39 (sorry Smooth :D).

Excellent pace--it is hard work jumping in and out of snowdrifts and keeping balance on ice. Sounds like a heckuva workout. Have fun working at New Year's tomorrow!

Looks like you made the BEST out of the Winter Storm Advisory run today! I LOVE that frog in the warm water speedwork on the TM. Hope you're having a nice quiet shift tonight and tomorrow night bringing in the New Year babies!!!

O Man, that .39 is KILLING ME!!!! :D

I work in a ICU with TINY babies. We do lots of drips with decimals...I have been doing this for over 17 years...hence the hard to break habit :D.
