Went out running just as it got dark tonight. The temperature dropped nearly 10 degrees while I was out there. After the first mile warmup, I started throwing some all out sprints for as long as I could in to the next few miles. I think I did 6 repeats. About 4 miles in the legs were spent, so just plodded along after that. Lots of snow melt out today. Luckily I balanced out stepping in a deep puddle with one foot with another puddle for the other foot a little later. Last 2 miles were pretty cold and the snow stung as it hit my face.

Is it snowing out now? I am snuggled up on the couch with Harold. Way to go speedie, you are so dedicated and getting so fast! I am going to run early tomorrow, we have to go get our car looked at in the morning. I think I am only going to do 5 or 6 miles, what about you?

Yep - the snow is coming down. The puppy went out on the balcony to investigate and came running back in. She thought it was too cold.

I am going to do 6-10 miles tomorrow. Might break it down into 6 in the a.m. and 4 in the p.m. Or I might just do the 6.
