We've been having CRAZY amounts of snow the past few days.  The roads were VERY snowy/slushy.  I didn't want to run on the TM, so I'm moving my long run to later in the week when its not as snowy.  30 degrees - snowing.

I really wanted to get my long run in today, but I slept so terrible last night....and it snowed several more inches...and I was feeling like a head cold was coming on.  So I stuck with my 6 miles and called it good.  I'll try again tomorrow.

Everything felt terrible on the run.

MCT - 16 degrees - It was hard to get moving because it was so cold.  Those tempo miles were difficult.  They felt way to hard.

I did the tempo miles too fast.  I need to learn how to regulate that better.

It was an extremely emotional taxing weekend.  Plus the dog got up at 3:45am to go potty.  A few glute activation exercises.  Snowing and lots of new snow.  16 degrees.

13 miles with a 4 mile tempo @8:45.

TT:  2:03:30

AP:  9:41 (10:41, 10:36, 10:19, 10:15, 10:06, 10:08, 10:15, 9:46, 8:41, 8:47, 7:59, 7:50, 10:42). I was on the MTC and having a hard time gripping the asphalt.  I stopped after 2 miles.....reset and pep talk...decided to turn down Manilla Pond road in hopes of more grippiness.  I had a few stops during the first section (Carter called from the MTC...reschedule doctor's appointment).  My water and chews were frozen.  I'm feeling better about the 4 mile tempo and the last 2 miles were good.  Right quad sore during run and after run.

It was 6 degrees outside.  Our current hot water heater only makes luke warm water (we are getting a new one today), so I knew I couldn't warm up after my run.  TM it is.

3 sets of lunges - 2 mile recovery run X2
