Weather - 18 degrees, clouds. Easy 4.25 miles. I can feel my body getting stronger from the reduced mileage. 5 more day of short runs should have me feeling good. After the run I did 4 sets of strength exercises at Brookens Gym, Stretching, and 15 minute walk home. I was planning to run a 9 mile trail race in Rockford this Saturday, but that area was blitzed with snow a few days ago, and the forecast is for a 30 degree day, which means snow will still be on the course. Rather than drive a total of 6 hours, run a risky trail race in cold and snow, I think it is best to skip the race and train at home. Next race planned will be my first 5k since July, on March 8th, which is less than 4 weeks away. That race should keep me motivated in my training. #87 z.m. - #1
