Awesome miles in while the fluffy snow fell. love running in the snow. Legs felt good- a little spunky so I may have to do another set of medium effort longer intervals tomorrow. Little 5k this coming weekend- legs are not in fast pace mode so it isn't going to be great, but it will be fun.

2 miles at 9:30pm with Luca. Pretty slick out so we went slow...

grabbed Luca and ran her back home and then back to work. She was extra fired up running.... My arms were exhausted by the time we got home.

Great afternoon for a little run. Legs felt good- myhips were sore yesterday, but I think it was from two days of heels at work...

great morning for the race. Wasn't going for time, but managed a PR of 19:38. Forgot my watch, but my running buddy told me the first two mile splits- 6:12, 6:23 not sure about last mile. I was really surprised at my time- especially since I haven't done any workouts in the past three months and I was at 62 miles going into race.

Pushed the girls for 4 in a gourp xmas light jog. Then went out for another 5 with Luca after they were sleeping. Had a really long field day setting up water sampling units so I missed my ususal lunch run.

Legs felt heavy and tired- my guess is 2 days of heavy lifting and not eating much.

Energy was back today. Legs felt fresh.  Snow, wind and melting conditions made for a nice little run. My last few miles are into the wind so when I got home and took my hat off- it was frozen to my eye brows! HA!

Late start due to meetings. Perfect weather. Legs were a little tired from hills and then riding my bike on the trainer last night.

8 with Luca in a snow flurry before a million things to do today. hoping to get in another 2-3 this afternoon. Might have to push the girls.

Got an extra two in while the oldest scooters with me. We had a few races so I got to pick up the pace for about 20 yard

another flurry, another run. It was above freezing so the snow melted instantly and I rang out my socks when I was done...

10 miles with 10x 40 sec hill sprints. First hill sprint  my legs felt heavy and I thought the next 9 were going to be rough, but they warmed right up and the hills felt good.

3 miles with luca at 10pm.

with luca. No wind, but cold out now. Guess the 40F weather couldn't last all winter... Wore trail shoe covers to plow through the drifts easier.

9 miles in the snow and cold and wind!! Then headed to the gym for 4 more uphill. Increased incline 0.5% every 400 m over 3 miles to finish at 8%. Had a decent pace the whole time. Treadmill is sooooo much easier than running outside!

10 miles in the subzero weather. Had to bust out the new base layer pants I bought my hubby for Xmas... May have to go buy my own... Achilles are tight from running on the snow so much this past week.

skipped the unplowed path and ran on the plowed stuff. Much easier. Luca wasn't happy about being on her leash the entire time...
