Regular loop with Laureen. Snowing lightly with snow on the ground. Temperature quite comfortable.

Right now I'm just trying to maintain a basic level of endurance and enjoy some time running with my wife. My goal is to get in about 35 miles a week, with one tempo run and one longer run (10+). After the first of the year I'm planning to start increasing mileage and intensity for a spring marathon (Boston, if we can swing it; Ogden, if we can't).

Adventure park loop with Laureen. Temperatures warmed into the low 40's yesterday and melted most of the snow on the paths, but left a few patches of black ice. I need to remember to wear by headlamp so that I can see things a little better. Temperature was in the upper 20's, skies were overcast with a very light snow falling some of the time.

Adventure park loop with Laureen. Weather pretty much the same as yesterday. More snow had melted and there were still a few small icy patches.

Ran from the AFFC north to Highland park and then westuntil I'd run 30 minutes. Took about 28 minutes on the return route. I was wearing my reflective vest, but should have taken my headlamp as well. With car lights coming towards me, I often couldn't see the road in front of me. Temperature was around 50 at 5 pm. Beautiful sunset.
