AM: Treadmill - 8.75 miles in a bit over 62 minutes. Did 6 x 4 minutes with 2 minute recovery jogs. Strides at the top of the hour, then core. Bowl of cereal and stretching.

A little faster than last week, a little longer, and shorter recovery. Not much to write coach about but I'll take small increments for now.

PM: Treadmill - 4.25 @ gentleman jogger pace. Did a set of weights (presses).

Why so many treadmill runs? Oh, I don't know. It does force me to get my core, stretching, and weights in, which is part of the idea.

You don't get slushed by plow trucks on the treadmill.

Whatever those are...

Yeah, but I have nowhere to blow snot rockets!

Plow trucks vary by state. This one was a true plow truck. Some times the road crews in Indiana would plow with pickups . . . I'm not expert but I'm from Maine and I think you are doing this wrong!

You haven't been falling much!

I think most everyone I know here has access to at least one plow truck (or skid steer). :)

I thought of that the other day, Matt! I slid on some snow the other day but caught myself.
