Had a nice snowstorm and a few inches on the roads to greet us this morning. Did lots of slip-sliding-away most of the time. We did find one road that for some reason was better than all the rest so went back and forth on that one a couple of times. The poor footing seemed to get worse towards the end. Fun stuff, not sure which is worse the bitter cold and fog or the sloppy/slippery roads. I think I'll take the sloppy stuff, warmer temps and clean air.

Later in the afternoon got to the gym for 30 min XT + core.

Snowing again but I decided I still like running in snow a lot better than the gunky inversion, especially if the roads are mostly clear like they were today when I went out around 11am.

Schedule called for 10-12 uphill repeats but since my next 5K is very much downhill I decided to push it on the uphill the first 6 repeats and then do a switcheroo and work on fast downhill running for the last 6. Felt pretty good but I sure am a wimp on the uphill.

Another snowy morning. Decided to join Kim and Annette and run around the track at the girls gym at the high school. Kind of tedious like the treadmill at first but then I zoned out and felt pretty good like I could run forever. Not sure on distance but should be pretty close to 6.

Later in the afternoon went to the gym at work for 30 min XT + core.

Ran indoors like yesterday again. Except today is a rest day for Kim and nobody else showed up so I had the place to myself. I wore a HR monitor this time so I could get a better idea what my pace/distance was.  Looks like I was around 8:30 pace.

Later went to the gym at work. Didn't feel like doing XT so I did 2 more easy miles on the treadmill and some core. Looking forward to some sun & fun the next few days!

A dandy little 6 miler with Kim in the sunshine. Shorts and t-shirt and temps in the 50's. No complaints!
