Decent run today, but it was cold. More teens in the AM but I am finding that sweet spot of winter gear. I do miss just shorts and one shirt... but by then I will be upset with the heat :)

Yet another winter weather advisory. I had to miss yesterdays run... bums me out. So today I ran... through lots of snow. Id say 4 miles through 4-6 inches of snow, 3 miles through 2-3 inches of snow and a few miles of little snow (and a few clear patches). So I know I am feeling the runs, but thats the problem, it feels like a workout and not a run. So I am getting tougher but not faster? Heck I don't know if the resistance pays off or not, but I do know it makes me run slow! 

Afterwards, I took the day off! :) I decided to play in the snow with my youngest daughter and that was great! I have a long day of work ahead of me tomorrow so... yeah...

Up and out early today. Cold and more snow to plow through. Bought the farm around mile 3, did not see that ice! Ah we need to laugh at ourselves... Long but good day of work.

Cold (shocker), but a little more clear to run.... not great, but better... Hoping Sat can be a good long run. I need to stretch my legs on a good long run and the snow just is not cooperating! Work was work, going out of town next week.

Today I wanted to get a long run in and stretch my legs... neither happened. I was ready to roll last night. This morning I got up, feeling good. I putted around a bit before I went out and I then got the reminder that we had a mission meeting to go to. Ugh... so mentally everything changed - I had to hurry up and then I was wondering how many miles I could get in. All of that meant I started too fast and then just lost all momentum. Turned into one of those runs where I was thinking "Why didn't I take up cycling instead?" one of those where I was yelling at my self out loud while running. I did not scream, but I was telling myself to "get moving". Anyone else do that? I am odd I know. Well, the time for getting myself back in shape is coming very soon....
