Did the first 3 or so with Megan. I was surprised she want to go out as it was chilly. Works for me.

AM/Lunch: 3-mile shakeout on the treadmill. Core and hip work.

PM: 10 miles easy in the snow. Not bad at first, but I was annoyed the last few miles with the wind and drifting snow.

First double since August. My work schedule makes doubles pretty much impossible, but as I feel like it I'll probably do them on my days off, even if it's just a couple slow miles to warm up for strength training.

PM: 10 miles.

We got a bit of snow. Just a couple inches, but enough that the park was a bit of a struggle with the drifts and footing, so I ran around some of the neighborhoods. Very windy as it has been the last 7-10 days.

PM: 10 miles. Did some strides, which felt good.

Megan left for a conference yesterday, so it's just the boys (our cats) and me. Going to be some wild nights of trying to get to bed around 9:00-9:30 so that getting up at 4:00AM leaves me with a good night of sleep. I do enjoy my 2-hour naps in the early afternoon though.

3 up/2 down 8 miles in 52:11 (6:31 average)

It's been several weeks since I have done any real workouts or much running, so I wasn't sure what to expect. THe workout went well. Had a solid progression.

PM: 10 miles moderate to uptempo progression, averaged 7:16.

Felt good and progressed with a 6:16 last mile without too much change in effort or form. My hips and glutes are getting stronger.

A good week. Almost 80 miles with a workout after some down time and two 50-55-mile weeks.
