AM: 6 easy dodging black ice. I fell once but it wasn't serious. I still had to hurdle some snow banks and slow at other sections. Just biding time with each day's snow melt. It will probably be another week before the snow goes. I'm so happy to see 60+ degrees in about a week. Lets hope February proves mild this year. I had the same thought last year and February was winter hell on earth.
PM: 6.3 miles with a 5:10 picku-up mile then some strides
Running the 5,000 meters at the University of Maryland Indoor invite this weekend against some college runners. My speed/specific endurance is not where I want it to be--it took a hit with the blizzard, but it's very early and as such I'm not expecting much. Getting my body ready for some tough workouts in February with main race targets in late March and early April, when the weather will be glorious, and sub 5 miles aplenty.
