It was still really icy from all the thawing and re-freezing so I did a treadmill run.  I ran 6.00 uneventful miles.

It was 18 degrees this morning.  The footing was a lot better today with the colder temperatures, only a few icy areas.  I ran 10.56 miles easy.

It was 30 degrees with some wind, but not too bad this morning.  We had a very light dusting of snow that hid some icy spots on un-plowed side streets, but once I dropped off the bench the streets were great.  I ran 12.31 miles

It was 31 degrees, a bit windy, and wet outside.  I guess I better enjoy it as it is supposed to be at least 30 degrees colder tomorrow morning!  I ran 10.57 miles in wet, soupy fog at times and was soaked when I got home.

It was below zero outside this morning and even worse with the wind chill so I opted for the treadmill.  I ran an easy 7.00 miles.  I may try to get in a few more tonight if I don't get home too late.
