It was 32 degrees this morning with more new snow.  The temperature made the snow very soft and the footing was terrible.  I ran 10.29 miles in a slow slog.  It would have been better if it was 20 degrees because the footing would have been better.  Oh what I would give for some dry pavement.......

It was still really icy from all the thawing and re-freezing so I did a treadmill run.  I ran 6.00 uneventful miles.

It was 30 degrees with some wind, but not too bad this morning.  We had a very light dusting of snow that hid some icy spots on un-plowed side streets, but once I dropped off the bench the streets were great.  I ran 12.31 miles

It was 31 degrees, a bit windy, and wet outside.  I guess I better enjoy it as it is supposed to be at least 30 degrees colder tomorrow morning!  I ran 10.57 miles in wet, soupy fog at times and was soaked when I got home.

It was below zero outside this morning and even worse with the wind chill so I opted for the treadmill.  I ran an easy 7.00 miles.  I may try to get in a few more tonight if I don't get home too late.

It was 17 degrees this morning.  I ran 10.57 miles easy and early as I have a conference call at 8:00am.

The world is officially coming to an end!!!  I actually received a check from Devine racing for last April's Salt Lake marathon for my 3rd overall Masters placing.  Nothing like taking almost 9 months!!!!

No running today.  Our family left early for a wonderful day of skiing.  It was almost 40 degrees and sunny on the mountain.  It was spring skiing in January!!!

No time for a run this morning.  I headed up to Idaho Falls first thing as I just replaced my General Manager in one of my restaurants up there and needed to be there for the first day of the new manager.  It was a busy, but good day and I think the new General Manager will do great.

It was 29 degrees this morning with fresh snow and it was VERY windy.  Winds steady at 20mph gusting over 30.  It was very slick and icy in spots and I "skated" more than just a few times but luckily I did not fall.  I ran 10.51 miles.

I made myself a deal that if I went for a run this afternoon, I could snack during the football games.  I went out at 12:30 and it was 32 degrees but the wind made it feel colder.  I ran 10.54 miles and got home in time to catch the end of the 2nd quarter of the Colts/Jets game.

It was 31 degrees with a fresh layer of snow and still snowing.  I wanted to run a bit faster today, but that was out the window with the slick roads.  I ran 15.48 miles nice and steady in some new shoes.
