It snowed all day yesterday, with a high of 21F, so I woke up this morning to 17F and a couple inches of snow, so I crawled back in bed. It was nice and warm. Hit the Y at lunch and ran 4 miles on the TM. 2% incline, progression from 6 mph for 0.5, to 6.7 for 0.5, then 7.3 for 1, 7.7 for 1, and ended at 8.1 for the last mile. Amazing how much sweat came from 4 miles. 5 minute cool down.

You're not going to enjoy running in Texas :-( It's getting HOT down here! IT was 75 degrees at 6:30 am and 90% humidity this morning...Ouch!!

BTW...I got your PM the other day. I was trying to figure out if there was a way I could come down to SA and run with you. I'm not sure if that is going to work out though. I'm not familiar with running in downtown SA but I have a friend I'm going to call to see if they can give any suggestion. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

Wow, those are some crazy temps in Texas! It will do me good, though, as running in the heat is my downfall. It's killed me in every one of my marathon distance races as I don't get out in the heat often enough. And after needing to wear 2 layers on bottom and 4 layers on top plus a neck/chin warmer, hat & gloves today, I'm looking forward to shorts & a tank top. I'll bring the endurolyte capsules along for good measure.

The map looks like you're quite a ways from downtown, and midweek that's tough. If any suggestions come from your friend that would be great!

Ha ha ... Since I blogged two hours ago the weather has changed here. It's now 45 degrees, windy and raining! Texas weather :-)

45 sounds amazing! I'd be in shorts & a tee shirt... :)
