MLR before dawn/work. First half was with Tiffany at her suggestion; nice to have some company and get to know her a little better. We ran 5.65 at 9:15 average. Then I did another 5+ by myself at about the same pace. I got really tired toward the end but the downhill from SHS helped me get home at decent pace.

Now for shower, a little nap and work. I really hope today is light, but that's not very likely.

Easy 6 along Phoenix this afternoon, once I finally got myself out the door. Beautiful weather. Tomorrow, it might be sleeting at that time. Just took it easy, wound up at about 9:30 pace.

Seven plus. In three inches of snow, with sleet falling on top of that. Felt like more like 15 by the time I was done. I know the drivers who were spraying my legs with slush thought I was nuts. They were right.

Morning run with Kathy M. at Ben Geren. I knew why she asked me to run with her; she wanted me to push her. I obliged for 8 miles. Then I pushed myself even harder for the last 5+. I ran a half this morning in faster than her race goal. It was really cold with a pretty stiff breeze, but I ended up shedding the half-zip and the track pants as I went along.

Morning run at the WAR room with Kathy L, Erica and Daniel. Kathy got wound up and she and Daniel ran off and left us. Not that we were going slowly. Last three miles were sub-10, and I did the last mile in 8:41. I needed this one to get some kinks out, because I'm sure Tiffany is gonna cook me in the morning. Six tomorrow would put me at 40 miles for the week, which isn't bad for taking two days off.
