| It was deceptively cold today with sunshine and a strong north wind. I did my housing school loop plus for 4.9 miles. My legs were a little tight, and my left knee was a little sore. They loosened up after a mile or so though. It was a good run to start the week.

| Half mile warmup with my youngest and then Walgreens-Wabash loop. I tried doing the loop backwards, and I had to think about which way to go a couple times. I'm so used to doing it one way every time. It was a good run.

| I did my housing school loop plus and a couple more blocks to make it 5 miles for the day. The wind was cold, but it was a good run overall. Feet were a little sore, but they loosened up after a couple miles.

| I braved the cold weather and did 3 miles. It was 19 F with a wind chill that made it feel like 6 F. It was okay until I turned back north and mostly into the wind. It was a little cold that direction but not too bad with all the layers I had on. I usually like to run in shorts even in the winter, but when it is this cold I generally add a layer of pants.

| I decided to do my Walgreens-Wabash loop because it is mostly east-west, and the north arctic wind was freezing. With the wind protection from houses most of the way, it wasn't too bad. Legs felt fine.

| I have been doing some indoor exercises with the extreme cold recently. Today I shoveled snow around my car and helped others in the neighborhood dig out from the snowstorm.

| It felt good to get out for a run. I felt a little like Rocky training in the snow with unshoveled sidewalks with 11.5 inches of snow on them though.

| It was beautiful sunny day and nice to be able to run in shorts again. The temperature was in the 40s with a strong south wind, but it felt balmy after the subzero temperatures of last week. I ran my Walgreens-Wabash loop. It was a bit slushy with all of the melting snow.

| Temperatures have been in the 50s the past couple of days, so most of the snow was gone. It was a great day for 5 miles on my Walgreens-Wabash loop. I did an extra 0.5 to make it an even 5 miles.

| I did my housing school loop plus and then added a little extra to get to 5 miles. It was cloudy, but the temperature was in the mid-40s. I felt good, but my neck and back have been tight recently. Not sure why.
