Weather - 30 degrees, cloudy, icy. Lots of ice on the roads, but no spills today. My legs felt good walking to work this morning, so I was hoping to run 13 miles today, but when I started my run in the afternoon I could still feel a bit of soreness in my left thigh, so I smartly stopped after 3 miles. I did some strength exercises after the run, then walked 30 minutes home. I can feel my energy building for the next phase of training, which is hill running. So this month I will ease into it, running slow/moderate hill loops at the arboretum as part of my middle and long distance runs. After 4-6 weeks I will then run the hill loops at a more intense pace, along with downhill sprinting. #417
