Got out to SHS tonight for a run after dark. The roads were clear so I thought the track might be. Nope. But traction was pretty good, and if I was a bit careful on the slick spots, which I was, I could run at a decent pace on the sleet atop ice (the ice only spots were where it was slick). Didn't wear a watch so not sure of the pace, but I think it was somewhere around 10:00.

Ran Phoenix after the WAR meeting. First half at 10:00 pace, second half at 9:00 average. Ice is pretty mcuh gone. We'll see if I feel like 15-16 tomorrow.

Planned to do 16 today, but developed a twinge in my left foot at about 6.5 and decided to shut it down after one of he 8-mile loops due to my normal paranoia. Legs didn't feel that good anyway, and it was almost 60 degrees (waited too long to start). So I shut it down and will try again over the weekend.

At the Boys Club with the crack o chickens crew today. Parked at Mercy which added two miles plus to what the group ran. Foot still a bit tender but didn't hurt during the run.
