7 on the TM.  I got hooked on "Justified" and it passed the time nicely.

Outside!  3 mm of snow, accompanied by wind, I guess, was enough to scrub the air.  I devoured great lungfulls of air.  2 miles with Nena, then I dropped her home and ran the usual 10k route.  I found one person to chase, and visited for a mile.  

It was really cold, and it turns out I wasn't 100% properly clad to be in the wind for that long.

Finally, a somewhat legit week.  If I'm going to run SLC marathon with Russ, I probably should train a bit.  Here I am, sans a boston qualifier, but planning on going in 2015.  Double digit mile run on the docket for next Saturday.  Just by making the plan, I am causing it to snow.

7 am  5.5 tm miles, during the packers/niners game.  I wasn't running fast, but got through the 3 hour game in under 1 hour.

To the south farmington chevron and back.  double digits!  Why has it been so long?  Why does it feel like I'm falling apart?

Barely under 10 minute pace.  No juice.

Not as bad as Monday.  Still, 53 minutes for 6 miles is pretty pathetic.  Jack watched PPG with me.  He found every throw pillow in the basement and piled them up onto the couch so he would have a well cushioned nest.  He didn't like that I fast-forwarded past the opening and closing credits.  "Hey Dad!  Why you do that?"

Out of the soup, onto the treadmill.  I spent this entire run out of the 6's.  Running 8:40 pace for 5 miles shouldn't make me feel satisfied, but there you are.

12 on the mill. Air quality is so poor I wouldn't even consider running outside. First 6 miles @7 mph, the 7.5, 8, 7.5, 8, I don't know. I got a couple faster miles in there. Or not as slow miles, anyway.

Watched the NFC championship game. For a change, Seattle was on the good end of bad calls. If harbaugh didn't consistently make such an a-- of himself, I'd feel bad for the 49ers.

Obviously, the run wasn't very remarkable.

Boring TM 10k.  7 mph.  Hey, a couple weeks ago it was 6.5.  It sounds like the state reps are making lots of noise about air quality in advance of the session.  That's a big step up from last year...

TM.  1 mile wu, then 1 mile at 8,7,8,7,8, 1/2 mile cooldown.  Anna was watching Biggest Loser with me.  Tami came home and sent her to bed.  She obediently went down the hall to her room, er, went down the hall and waited for 20 seconds before resuming her seat in front of the TV.  She should have listened for footsteps on the stairs, because Tami hadn't left yet, and that little girl caught an earful.  Being a youthful night owl isn't easy.

Another 12 miles on the TM, thanks to poor air quality.  Don't ask me if AQ is any better inside than outside.  Pick your poison; particulate 2.5 or Radon.  

The last 2 Saturday runs feel great two days later.  It's monday now, and my legs feel snappy.  But after the run and yesterday, I feel very unstrung in my pelvis and sacrum.  Coming apart at the seams, I guess.

I think the inside of my nose stinks.

It appears to be a Monday night habit.  Tonight I watched Chicago PD...just like most other cop shows.  Corruption?  Immoral cops?  Torture?  Decapitations?  Sure, it has it.  I'm surprised they went to abducting one of the cop's kids in the 2nd episode; seems a bit premature.

7 mph, 1 hour, no stopping.  Tami broke the fan earlier in the day, so it was hot and stinky.  Generally, I favor moving over stagnant air.

I'm supposed to be at work by 7 am now, so morning runs will mostly be out of the question, except weekends.  Bummer.  Hopefully I can get things changed to 8 am when the weather gets nicer.  I'd hate to miss out on April and May mornings altogether.  I'm so glad to be on this side of the solstice.
