Fast Eddie, good that your hip seemed to hold up okay and hope that it keeps improving.
Kawasa, nice running!
Ran 9 miles on the paved rail trail that was covered with just a paper-thin dusting of snow, so the footing was pretty good. Almost everything else has been snow and ice covered. It was also a mild mid-teens and I enjoyed the run. First 4 or so were easy (8:40s then picked it up to 8:20s, which on the ice is probably L2).
Temps dropped in the afternoon now it's deep cold and windy and I'm not sure how I'll handle the weekend, will attempt an easy classic ski today (had signed up for an 8K skate race but it was canceled due to the sub zero temps and -15 wind chills.

So went out gingerly with the hip I strained yesterday. Not too bad as long as I kept it slow and in a straight line. Did spasm on me when I did a studdard step in order to a long step over a curb puddle. Managed a dozen K.

2 mile warm up, 3 miles at 6:05 pace, 3 min rest, 1 almost all out mile in 5:10, 2 mile cool down. Total of 8.15 miles.
Felt pretty good, I kept thinking of FE because almost the whole run was on packed snow.

Fingers crossed FE. Hate running on frozen shit.

Cold evening, so only planned on 5-7K. Slipped on some ice making a turn, just over 2K in, and wrenching my right hip joint a bit. Had to walk for about 5 minutes, till I could break into a slow jog 1K back home.
Hoping it's nothing long term.

4 miles and strides on the treadmill. Roads weren't too bad until about an hour before I could get out there so I made the call to stay inside.

Nice workout glwescott! Stay dry, been reading about the flooding and it seems the worst in 10 years.
AM - 5 mile run with short threshold session reps of 2:30 to 3:40 totaling 14 minutes. 15 degrees total snow and ice cover on the bike path.
PM 12 km xc ski with 20 minutes worth threshold reps (4 to 6 minutes).

Old man interval workout. 15 minute warmup, 15 minutes of 30sec/2minute intervals at mile pace, then 15 minute cooldown. Dry and 45° today. Lots of flooding up here and still they say worse to come.

7K run commute in the morning with about an inch of snow on the ground.
With more snow falling and then an evening thaw, freeze, I decided to subway near home, with a 2K run from the nearest subway station through the crunchy and slushy snow.

Got in the workout I failed at on Friday! 2 mile warm up, 5 x 1 mile at threshold (avg 5:45) w/ 200 meter jog, 1 mile cool down for a total of 8.62 miles. It was cold, 19°F, dark, and a little windy but I layered up and my new Smartwool mittens did the trick and I finally ended a run without my fingers hurting.
Tomorrow will be a hard earned day off!
