Treadmill with the last quarter mile at 7 min pace. The cure for running soreness is more running. I was sore most of the day, but feel normal now. I think my neighbors might have some trouble leaving the house tomorrow. That's their mailbox in a giant mound of drifted snow.  photo image-3.jpg

5 a.m. miles on the first(and hopefully last) snow day of the year. I did a ladder sort of workout to pass the time, with a 6 minute warmup, then 6 minutes at 6.6, 5 minutes at 6.7 and so on and so forth, up to 1 minute at 7.2 and then back down until I was finished. Nothing exciting or too taxing.

I finally read The Book Thief. Finished last night when the plow woke me up. My eyes leaked a bit at the ending, but it was a good read.

I am in the habit of finishing fast on the treadmill for no other reason than I just want to be done.

Felt sluggish tonight. 2 miles is a waste of a shower, so I solved that problem by just not showering. I might regret that, but not much. Now I'm watching Illinois being destroyed by Wisconsin. Sad. A shower might be a better use of my time.

An interrupted 5 treadmill miles. Laundry and kid stuff got in the way, so it took me a while to get it all in. Raining today. Yeah, rain and 40 degrees 4 days after one of the coldest days in decades. There is no more snow on the ground.

There was a great melt today, but still piles of snow from the plows. I could only get out of my neighborhood going south because the north end of our street was flooded over. So I had to run up and down some of the neighborhood streets, which was fine.

Pace was good, just under 8:30 (8:29 to be exact) for the whole run. My last mile was 7:52. The 40 degree temps felt pretty nice. Wind was strong going west,which did not feel pretty nice during mile 5, since that whole mile was into the wind. However, it was a good run and felt great to be outside.
