This was scheduled to be my long run of the week for 6 miles but after a tiring weekend and a long drive to Kansas City I could only manage 2 on the treadmill.

Okay, got yesterday's scheduled long run done today. All good right? The body doesn't know the mileage was for yesterday. Had to do it all on the treadmill as the snow is quite deep and folks haven't gotten to the point of clearing the sidewalks or running paths yet. Not ready to try my luck running in the road after dark in the winter.

Spent 17 minutes on the recumbent exercise bike before stepping onto the treadmill for a 2 mile jog. My quads definitely felt the bicycle work.

I think this may be the first time outside of a half-marathon that I have ran more miles than the number of hours slept the night before. It wasn't fun but it got done.

Snow has finally melted from enough byways that I got out on the streets for today's short 2+ jog. The temperatures are forecast to drop so tomorrow's 7 may have to get done indoors. Booo.
