I ran with Sasha, Mary Ann, and Matt. It was a bit warmer so that was nice. I increased the mileage to 8 miles/day this week and the legs felt okay. Total time was 62:47 (7:51/mile).

Woke up to snow this morning. Ran 8 with Sasha, Mary Ann and Jeff. It was snowing pretty hard the whole time. There were a few slick spots with ice underneath the snow, but overall it was pretty good. The legs felt a little tired. They weren't really sore. They just didn't want to go. It is most likely due to the increased mileage. Total time was 62:04 (7:45/mile).

Due to lack of sleep last night and tired legs I decided to only do 7 this morning. I felt okay once I got going, but I would rather be safe than injured. Ran with a big group consisting of the usual plus Matt and Chauncy. It was colder this morning, and it started snowing pretty hard the last couple of miles. Total time was 55:03 (7:52/mile).

Another 8 miles with the group. We talked about Linux, hexadecimal numbers, and RGB color values the entire run. It was interesting. Total time was 63:22 (7:55/mile).

I almost didn't get a run in today. I was busy with family stuff, and my running group was off running the SLCTC race. I finally got out in the late afternoon and got 4 miles in. Total time was 32:14 (8:04/mile). It felt faster than that with about 4 inches of snow on the trail. It was tough going.
