This was the rare treadmill run that didn't feel dreadful. In fact, after I finished 5 and stopped the treadmill, I really wanted to get one more in. So that's what I did. Yay me.

Earlier in the day, it was sunny and almost 40. By the time I got out it was cloudy, but not too cold, maybe just above 30 or so. Still good. I avoided sidewalks since any residual snow was slushy and just ran streets and the bike path.

8 has been my go to longer distance each week. The only time I did more was when I ran the trail race, and I only did 9 that day. I have to start thinking about a training plan for my annual half marathon. It's not till April 26th, but I bet that'll be here before I know it. I have no solid goal, except to PR.

I went out for a run after school but before our open house, which started at 5:45. I forgot my face mask thing and it was frigid. I had to rig up my hood to cover my face. It was very windy when I started. Then the driving snow statrted. I decided to call it a day after 4.

Roads were terrible on the way home. Snow day tomorrow. This is the second snow day this week, the fourth this year. I don't particularly care for snow days. But someone's got to think of the children.

4 easy treadmill miles. I played a little with the pace throughout, but still kept it in the easy realm until right before I finished, when I just got impatient.

My butt cheeks are windburned from yesterday's run. Ha ha.

Just 3 slow miles in the p.m. after putting Charlotte to bed. Glad I got something in. Weather is supposed to be bad tomorrow, but I'm praying for an outside run.

No long run today. Fresh snow, unplowed streets, bitter wind. I decided to run indoors, but didn't get to it till after putting Charlotte to bed. I started slow and then worked my way to less slow. No pushing the pace for me today.
