Treadmill again. We got hit by another blast of snow. I drove back from Chicago today and it took me an extra hour because of driving snow and poor visibility. On the plus side, though, it is supposed to warm up this week, so hopefully we'll have clean roads at some point!

My run was good. I had a headache before I started, but it didn't get in the way. I started off with a warmup of a mile, then started increasing the pace every half mile. I feel that my treadmill workouts are all the same, just minor variations, but I have to keep changing the pace frequently, otherwise I get bored.

5 treadmill miles. It warmed up today, not enough to melt all the snow, but it looks promising for the rest of the week. I don't know if I'll be able to get out till the weekend because Chuck has supervision on the evenings on Thursday and Friday and so do I. But still, it's going to be nice!!

The warmup yesterday left the roads a slushy mess, which then refrozen, leaving the roads a bumpy icy mess. I wisely (but not joyfully) chose the treadmill for a rare morning run. I felt slow, but not terrible. I was able to log more miles for a morning run because I had to take the boys to the dentist.

I need to start adding mileage, and probably should have started my normal "training" last week. I am still not sure whether I should go gung-ho or not. I have in the back of my mind that a pr is important...

I knew this wasn't going to be the best running week. I don't know how many miles I'm going to be able to wring out of the next two days. I'll do my best.
