6:30am: It snowed last night and then froze hard. The roads are very dangerous.....it was a treadmill day for safety. I ran 12.25 miles in a pace ranging from 7:30-6:49. Nice and sweaty workout.

6:30am:  Roads still nasty this morning.  The high yesterday was only 14 degrees so there has been no change in conditions.  Another treadmill day.  I ran 13.25 miles with each mile progressively faster until I was running at a 6:49 pace, the whole run at a 1.5 incline.

6:15am:  It was 18 degrees this morning.  The roads are still very icy but I've had enough of the treadmill the last 3 days.  Before I left I had to replace some of the bolts in my ice running shoes because I wore the hex heads down flat :)  I ran 15.17 miles and felt AWESOME.....  About 5 miles in I felt like I had the perfect pace, perfect stride, and if I didn't have to work today I would have run 20-25 miles.  I felt fluid.  I probably didn't look that way running on the ice, but I had a great time.  I kept the pace good and finished in under 2 hours.  I love days like this!!!

6:15am:  15 degrees outside with FREEZING FOG (oooh, my favorite).  The fog was worse on the benches and I was under it when I dropped down in to the main part of town.  Unfortunately my last 4 miles are back on the bench and I was covered in frost when I got home and my eyes tried to freeze shut at the corners.  I love a challenge :)  I ran 15.19 miles and was 3 minutes FASTER than yesterday.  It must have been that big bowl of pasta I had at Remo's last night, it was delicious!  I only need 5.85 miles tomorrow to break 400 for the month which will be a first for me.

Morning:  I waited until it was light out to run this morning thinking it would be warmer.....it actually got colder.  It was 5 degrees and clear when I left.  The sun....yes we had sun today, was bright with all the snow and ice so I had to wear sunglasses so I did not go blind.  I ran 22.16 miles with 9 really good miles.  It was 20 degrees by the time I got home so all in all it was pretty good conditions.
