9 miles with a set of reps of 2,3,4,5,4,3,2 minutes getting progressively faster. Started at LT1 on the first couple then approaching LT2 for the next three (kind of the core of the workout) and then the last were more critical velocity and V02 max. Followed with 4X 30 sec fast.
Chilly but not cold at about 30 degrees and a breeze.

2 mile warm up, 2x800 at 5:20 pace, 2x400 at 5:00 pace, 2x200 at 4:20 pace with 400 jog between all, and 2 mile cool down. Total of just over 7 miles.
It was nice, about 38°F with full sun and no wind. I tried finding a track but the closest 2 were still snow covered so I just used a flat stretch of road that wasn't really busy.

My cold/infection seems to be receding. I did an easy double with 4.3 miles of running in the morning and the 10km of xc skiing at local park in the PM. The trails are in great shape! They have about 3 or 3.5 km of manmade snow, that's more than a meter thick, banked turns, steep climbs and swooping downhills.

Woke up with an inch of wet snow on the ground. Ran 2K to the subway. Snow basically melted or plowed away on the sidewalks and roads by the time I did my evening 7K run home.

I got a bit more than 5 miles and strides on the treadmill.

1 minute high intensity interval/2 minute recovery interval repeated eight times with a short warm-up and cool down added for 3 miles total. Nice dry 43° weather, although no blue in that sky.

9.2 on a (mostly) clear of ice bike path. I did 4X 6 min tempo reps, 2X 20 sec strides on flat, and 2X 25 sec hill strides. The path was great and first time in a month that I really had clear pavement to run on, but the street crossings were icy so I had to slow down for those (about every 1/4 mile). Otherwise, great workout felt better than I had for this entire month.

Savory bread pudding needs work. (The "savory" is onion, a wee bit of garlic, rosemary, kalamata olive & gruyere. And salt & pepper). The recipe I was referencing really had too long a cook time, but the cheese formed a crust so it did not dry out. I did not have enough of any of the seasoning other than onion. I like my seasoning!  Sweet bread pudding is successful (but better with maple bacon on top). Just hadn't made it in so long, I wanted to run a test. Converting from a 9x13 pan recipe to an 8x8 pan recipe does not work neatly at all, but it was close enough. I might have had a tad too much bread, as it tasted fairly light for a bread pudding. The bread wasn't fully immersed so it was crunchy on top, but it worked for me. I liked it. I'll probably do it "right" on Christmas (when I do the full 9x13 and do the bacon) but this was good too.

Converting from a recipe in a 9x13 pan to 8x8 has been more complicated than expected. (I found a similar enough recipe that should have helped, but I think the cook time was way off. I think the rosemary kalamata gruyere bread pudding is going to be too dry. I am not doing the sweet one that long & I think it will be better; plus it has a sauce.) This is why I ran a test kitchen night. (Although I'll definitely be doing a 9x14 of the sweet bread pudding on Christmas, so I can follow the recipe more closely (aside from using bourbon instead of brandy & adding crumbled maple bacon instead of pecans).
