Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
7.00	0.00	7.00

This trip has been rather unlucky! I had such a frustrating morning. Again. Got up at 5:37 to go run 10 miles on the treadmill in the hotel (since the roads were icy and it was freezing out), but the treadmill wouldn't go any faster than 3.5 mph and I couldn't figure out why. The front desk fellow was totally ignorant, so after trying again (in vain) to get the treadmill to work, I stalked back to my room, put on my cold weather gear and went to run in the icy freezing-ness. By then it was 6:15, so I barely had time to run a slow 7 miles with all the ice and snow everyplace. Argh. Avg 8:15/mi. (DS2 260.2)

Never had time to get in the missing 3 from this morning, but we got I's in both performances!

And we have good news about Kermit! He is up and running and legal, so I'll be driving him from now on! Woo hoo! And since we got $1,100 for him being totaled and spent a total of $925 on repairing him, we even gained $175 in the process... not bad!

Good job slugging it out. Bummer on the 'mill conundrum. Hope everything works out on Sunday! Just think, in about a month or so we all wont mind getting out there in the NOTso icy freezingness :)! Run on Ruth! What's on the chopping block this spring for PRs? I think 5:10 is going down, and the 3200 goal: 11:20 = 5:40 pace. I think you'll smash that by a good 20 + seconds. By midseason at least you'll be well under 11:00 :-D. And we'll all be cheering on your state champs endeavors. VISUALIZE THE BLING! :)
