Barry Smith and I ran the marathon route from Century High School to Inkom and back this morning.  It started out with a very cold wind but luckily it calmed down after we went around the gap.  We took it easy on the way out and picked it up on the way back with 1 tempo mile from 9-10.  Overall a nice, relaxing run on a cold (~20 degrees) morning.

It was 42 degrees this morning.  That was the good news.  The wind was blowing steady at 30+ mph gusting over 40mph.  I ran 13.11 miles with my pace all over the place depending on the wind direction.  Strong winds just wipe me out!

We received several inches of snow last night so it was a treadmill day again.  I decided to shovel my driveway and sidewalks before my run so I wouldn't have to go outside all sweaty to shovel.  It seemed like a good idea.  I ran 8.25 miles, came back upstairs, and it snowed enough during my run and shower that I need to shovel again!!!

The temperature wasn't too bad this morning, but it is still really icy in spots and the wind was blowing up to 30mph so I opted again for the treadmill.  I ran 8.25 miles.
