5 in AM, 7 in PM. We got about 8 inches of snow last night which made today's runs rather slow, especially the morning run. Luckily, I think it is fun to run in the snow, alt least for a day or two.

10 easy miles this morning before work.

I am only running 60 miles this week, but I amvery proud of those 60 miles.

I'm putting in 80 hours at work this week also, which makes it hard to do much running.

10 easy miles in the morning before another long day at work.

The highlight of the run was yelling at a guy who was littering at my apartment complex. I am going to get myself shot one of these days, but I am tired of people whose behavior negatively affects my life.

For example: 3 AM-I am woken up by some drunk guys yelling outside on the street. 5:45 AM-I get the lovely odor of  my neighbor's stale cigarettes as I leave my apartment to run, licking this time it hasn't percolated into my apartment. 5:50-aforementioned guy tosses his trash in my "yard". 7:00-At the end of my run a friendly fellow is moring directly in front of the front doors to my building leaving me no choice but to inhale a some of his addiction. 8AM-Uninsured guy gets into fight at bar and earns himself an ER visit, some stitches, antibiotics and 3 expensive CT scans. Result: a medical bill probably in the range of $10,000 that he will surely never pay. The rest of us will indirectly pay for that bill with higher health care costs. I probably don't need to go on to get my point across. Rant over.

I let myself sleep in (slightly) after getting up for a morning run every day for the past week. I am actually starting to prefer to run in the mornings rather than after work. The only problem is that I cannot bring myself to run fast that early.

Did a 6 mile run in the evening on the treadmill. It was too foggy outside to run safely. Did 3 miles at a 5:52 pace.

9 miles in the morning. I cut the run 1 mile short in order to give myself time to vote.

I managed to get 6 miles in on the treadmill this morning before I got paged by work and had to stop. It turns out I din't need to come in, for now, but by the time I learned that I was showered. Hopefully I can put in the rest of my run tonight.

9 unexpected hours in the hosptal last night kinda messed up my mileage plans for this week. It also wore me out. Just 7 today. Hopefully I can be back in the mood to run more tomorrow.

Meant to get up in the morning and run, but I fell back asleep. 8 easy miles in the evening in some new snow.

Yesterday I took my second zero of the year. No particular reason. I didn't get up early in the morning and we decided to go out in the evening.

This morning I went out for 10 miles after sleeping in a little. I might go back out again tonight for a few miles because somethin in the 50's would be a lot more palatable than my current 48 miles.

4 easy miles in the morning. For the first time in forever it was warm. About 48 degrees. This resulted in all the snow melting leaving behind puddles and ice. After falling 3 times in 10 minutes I switched from the ice to the puddles. No more falls, very wet feet.

PM: 12 miles on the treadmill at an average pace of about 6:45. Last mile at a marathonish 6 minute pace. Glad I didn't go much further because the combination of indoor warmth and a "technical" shirt was bringing me close to the infamous Logan Fielding Syndrome.

AM: 7 easy miles outside. It got cold after yesterday's warmth. This resulted in several unhappy suprises when my foot made its way through semi-frozen puddles.

PM: 5 miles on the treadmill

11 easy miles in the morning. I was tired of running on the treadmill so I bundled on the layers and vertured out into the cold and wind. These were the coldest conditions I have dared face this winter. Thanks to a lot of clothes I was fine. I did finish the run with drops of ice on my eyelashes and eyebrows.

I failed to mention that Sunday's run left me pretty sore. I must be a little out of shape if 12 miles at a decent pace does that. I suppose I need to start picking up the pace on my easy runs. I have been trying to avoid pacing myself recently, instead going by time rather than distance. I have ususlly been running at what feels like a 7:30 pace although I suspect I often go slower, especially when the conditions are bad.

10 easy miles in the morning. There will be no more running today because I am working late tonight and my body is tired.

10 miles this morning before work. My outside thermometer said 20 degrees, but it was actually closer to 10. I was cold.

 

PM: 5 miles on the treadmill with a 5K tempo run in about 17:50

8 miles this morning. I was feeling tired and had a couple twinges so I decided to cut the run a little short. This week is still somehow turning into a major unplanned mileage bump. I don't need to push things and end up with an injury.

It was a little warmer than is has been (about 32 degrees) so I took the risk and wore shorts. It felt good. Ended up running 13 miles in 6:28 average pace. Started closer to 6:45 and gradually picked up the pace. Finished with a couple 6:00 miles. This one will probably leave me feeling a little sore, but it was fun.

10 easy miles today. I thought that I would be sore from yesterday, but really I was just a little fatigued. I doubt I will be putting in high mileage this week because I think the baby will be here sometime this week.

No baby yet, so 10 easy miles this morning. This makes 6 workdays in a row that I have pulled myself from the bed to run.

10 easy miles today. I felt fairly good considering the hard effort yesterday.

Still no baby. Due date is tomorrow.
