8:34 pace on treadmill. No school today, blowing and drifting. Same old story. My daughter lives in Fargo and she said there is nobody running outside right now. With the mountains of snow and ice and streets half the width and sidewalks covered with ice and snow it is not great running weather right now, even on nice days. Can't wait til spring. It will look like bears coming out of hibernation. :)

Tempo run:

1&2-8:34

3-8:00

4&5-7:41

6-8:57

Shoveled this morning for 2 hours. Temp. 9 with some windchill, but the sun is out! Amazingly I can already feel some of the warmth coming back to the northland. The weatherman said we have 46 inches on the ground right now. The moisture content is about an inch less than it was last year at this time. Some of our heaviest and wettest snows come in the next 6 weeks. Time will tell. A lot of flood talk right now. Heading to Bismarck for a couple of days to see our daughter. She hasn't been home since Christmas break. Life of a college student. Or maybe I should say *social* life of a college student. :)

Got home from Bismarck early Sat. morning. Got up early for a meeting. The track coach asked me to be Ass. Coach for Girls on the Run program she is starting. Our daughter is the other Ass. Coach. So after our meeting my daughter decided we needed to have lunch and run errands together. By the time I got home I was wiped out, but since I didn't run for 3 days I had to do something. Ugh! Ran on the treadmill and watched Apollo Ohno and the women's moguls. It was a grueling 4 miles. My legs felt like lead weights.
