No running because I'm lazy. I did manage a reverse escalator run at the airport. Of course any relatively fit individual can do this, but the last third is definitely a feat of perception. Earlier this week I ran about a a half a mile in jeans and a polo to the gas station (I assume 6:30ish pace) and back with a leaky gas can. Mom managed a few more feet (we ran out of gas of course), so the gas-in-hand run was slightly shorter. Run was nicely helped by my Altras that I use for walking.

Similar run to yesterday but with more detours because I had to take the sidewalks because it was getting dark and I missed a few lights. Lots of snow, ice, and puddles. 2 mile warm up, then 8 mile AT progressivish tempo (splits deviate more based on conditions. Effort felt about even until the last 2 miles): 7:25, 7:21, 7:18, 7:14, 7:13, 7:09, 7:02, 7:13 (lots of sidestepping and ice on this on. Pace was slow (7:14), but effort felt correct. Sore throat last night and this morning. It's been two years since I have had a full-on cold, so I am hoping this one exorcizes itself without further ado. 1.5 mile cool down with w/ a brief lower 5-minute range pick up.

 Oh, yeah. It's my 1-year blog anniversary. Happy anniversary blog!
