10K hill workout on the TM. I did 5 miles tonight, then ran flat @8:34 for 2. The inclines range from 6%-9%. I think it was better when I didn't know what the inclines were. 

Temps are on the rise this week, so hopefully Bayly and I can get outside for the rest of the week. There is not a stuffie in the house that has any stuffing. She has gutted all of them. The weekend and beyond look brutally cold again.

Signed up for the Fargo 1/2 Marathon, May 21.  

Temp 24! Amazing sunset! It felt great to be outside! I tried to keep Mr. Garmin between 8-9 min pace. Not easy considering my route took me over snow drifts, ice and a really uneven gravel road. But I am not complaining cuz I was outside! Bayly was in dog heaven. 

The head honchos in Fargo want to have 3 million sandbags ready. They figure it will take that many to hold back the Red if things really get nasty. They have 300,000 on hand from last year.  

An easy 3 with Bayly. I decided to take Maggie too, since we were only going 3. Her little legs kept up, but she is such an annoyance to Bayly. She is like the little sister that is always following Bayly around: "Geeze Maggie, sniff on the other side of the road this is my side and find your own pizza box, this one is mine". 

LSD outside. It was great day for a run. Tomorrow winter comes back. This week has been like a vacation! The birds that hang around all winter were even happy. 

My legs felt tired today. Rest day tomorrow. Ron's employee appreciation party is tomorrow night. Woohoo! I don't have to cook. That is always a good day.

Cool down

Need to focus on speed more. It was a killer today at 8:00. I would like to PR at the Fargo 1/2. Gotta have goals, even if they are lofty.

By by 30's, hello sub zero (again) (sigh). :(
