| Workout: Recovery day
- Treadmill
- Brisk walk of 70 minutes
Thoughts:
- Mentally this is a difficult workout for me. I feel that I should be running. Trying hard to stay true to the 20 week program.
- The weather froecast shows more snow and extreme cold temperatures for the week. Ugh!

| Overall Average Pace: 10.03 (treadmill)
Workout:
- 60 minutes easy pace
- 5 x 30 second strides (60 - 90 seconds easy recovery)
Thoughts:
- Several more inches of snow fell last evening - Ugh! I am starting to dread running on the treadmill. It is beyond boring!
- I ran my strides at mile 4. It took two strides before I found a treadmill setting that pushed me to something similar to outdoors. Although my lung capacity was never fully challenged, my left hip and left hamstring felt a significant pull. I did not want to further strain them.
- The treadmill was set at a 9.0 / 6:39 mile pace, but my estimate would be a 8:00 mile pace.

| Workout: Treadmill (loathing the weather)
- 10 minute warm-up / 9:44
- 5 x 8 minutes at a challenging pace / 8:10
- with 3 minute steady recovery / 9:34
- 10 minute cool-down / 9:44
Thoughts:
- The first 8 minutes was difficult to run. After the 3 - minute recovery, I hit my stride. It was a challenging pace for me to maintain. I increased my pace just slightly for the final 8 minute round.
- By the afternoon, my quadriceps were sore and tired. It could have been the workout or it could have been the 5 hours of hiking in the snow that I did yesterday.
Cross Training:
- 45 minutes spinning
- 45 minutes Pound class

| Workout: Treadmill
Thoughts:
- My first 3 miles were beyond torture, physically and mentally. I finally hit my stride, but had to work at not ramping up the speed.
- I have no idea if my workouts are building stamina, speed, etc. I just hope that all of these indoor workouts transfer to running outside when the weather finally changes.
Cross Training:
- Pilates - 45 minutes
- Spinning - 45 minutes

| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 16.02 | 0.00 | 16.02 |
| Workout:
- 16 miles easy
- At 13-mile mark increase pace for the last 3 miles
Overall Average Pace: 10:10
Conditions:
- 33° (feels like 28°)
- SW 10 mph
Splits:
- 2 mi - 10:18 / 4 mi - 9:52 / 6 mi - 9:54 / 8 mi - 10:31 / 10 mi - 10:19 / 12 mi - 10:12 / 14 mi - 10:12 / 16 mi - 9:53
Thoughts:
- This was the first time in two weeks that I have run outside. It was refreshing! The sidewalks were impassable while the roads were snowpacked and icy in places. Throughout the run, I had to slow my pace or walk for safety reasons.
- I would have liked to finish with an overall pace closer to 9:55, but based upon the road conditions I am satisfied with my performance.
- I need to bring more nutrition and hydration with me. I was in need of additional fluids by mile 14. My final push was more of a struggle than necessary because of my lack of preparedness. Learning as I go.
