34° and a bit of wind got me to break out the sweats for the first time in a year. Did 3 miles.

Snow storm day. Morning was sleet, ice pellets, hail. Ran 2K to the subway and that was it. By the time I left work, there was a couple of inches of crusty snow on the ground.

Interesting ski conditions today. I did an 11.5 km skate on crushed ice and ice cubes. After several days of unseasonably warm temps (50s) and some overnight rain the snow has mostly melted away, but on the manmade ski loops there is still a 2-3 foot base so it was very skiable if you don't mind packed slush. It's actually pretty fast as well.

More of the same for me.  Temp was about 38, so lots of snow melting across the sidewalks I run on.  I'm running around our local college campus right now as it's right down the street from me.  The run around the perimeter of the main campus is about 1.5 miles, so convenient when I'm trying to get back to regular running. 

Anyway, 1.6 miles today.  So damn slow!  9:20 pace, but it is what it is right now for this out of shape 58 year-old dude.


As my daughter would say, "It's whatever I guess."

5.3 miles easy. It's a taper week. My legs and body are tired from the past 5 weeks of ski training.

2 mile warm up, 1 mile at 5:35 2 miles at 5:46 pace and 1 mile at 5:17(it's all I had to give) with a 3 minute rest between each, and a 2 mile cool down. Ended up with 8.49 miles, I walked the rests instead of just standing there.

Nice and warm, 44°F and half the run was in the daylight. I was able to run in a long sleeve with wool tights, light gloves, and a hat. My light died with .1 miles left but luckily I didn't see any cars.

Welcome back Red. 

Thought of going 10-13 miles today, with temps just over freezing, but legs and energy systems just didn't have it. Thought I would cut back to 5-8K, but felt a bit better eventually and ended up at 11.45K for the day.

Glad you're back here and sticking out the running through all the set backs!

I got in a bit over 7 miles and some strides. It was around 38°F and the roads weren't as sloppy as I thought they might be after last night's surprise snow.
