noon: 11.5 easy. Greg came over and we ran a strange route due to snow.

PM: 4 easy

today was "normal" weather and the high reached 47. After last night's snow storm, everything was soaked and there were snow mounds and puddles everywhere. It felt amazing to run outside in shorts and not have your hands or face freeze off. back to the polar air though. The low for Tuesday morning's workout is just 7 degrees.

AM: 7 miles + standard core routine, foam rolling. Fell on my ass while waiving to a teammate I passed on the trail. The melting/re-frozen ice is in black patches everywhere. I'm alright though but I got a late start and couldn't get 8 in.

PM: 6 miles. windy, cold and icy. Low tonight is 6. race morning will be 18. this cold is really starting to grind my gears. It looks like a big warmup is on the way in March but I was hoping that it would at least be 30 degrees on race morning. Anything under 30 I've noticed is hard to get in fast efforts.

AM: 8 slow/recovery

ran before work this morning. Legs are pretty tired from yesterday. It's my late night, can't run to work due to having to take my lap-top home. Going out to Ashburn tomorrow for training and thus begins the very busy season at work on Friday.

PM: 5 easy during my lunch break. It was warm and I overdressed. It was amazing: the unpassable rock solid ice patches were melting. Of course I fell down again on a patch that remained.  Running in 43 degrees is so nice!..can't wait until all of that garbage snow has melted. alas, it will not be for awhile...the high the next two days is just 30 degrees, 2 degrees below the "normal" low.

PM: 1 hr pool run.

Legs were still tired today and I needed a day off. The day before a race is as good of day as any. Of course I still got some work in doing a pool run. No long runs during this week makes my total a paltry 81 miles. Needed a down week though.
