| | 8 TM miles at home. Finished Clash of the Titans. Good flick to run to. Lots of action, not so much dialogue.
1% incline, started at 6 mph for a bit then 6.5 for a stretch, then 7.0 for a couple miles, then needed to get finished so 7.5 for the last 4 1/2 miles. Gray shirts are fun to wear when TM running as you get to see your sweat afterwards. I had full back sweat, some belly sweat, and front & back neck sweat. And the headband was a 4 wringer after.
Legs are feeling appropriately sore. Not overly tired, but well used. I'm getting excited about April.

| | 4 TM miles this morning. Warmed up a bit at 6 mph, then to 7, then 7.5, and ended at 8.1. Lots of sweat while outside it was -2 plus windchill. Fun times this winter. Sure am grateful we got a home treadmill a couple years ago.

| | 40 minute tempo run at 1% incline at home. Not exactly sure of mileage but I started at 6 then worked my way up. At 15 minutes I cranked it to 9.3 and held that for 10 minutes then dropped down to 8.5, 8.0, etc. Good run.

| | Youngest daughter's 8th birthday today so I woke up a bit earlier than normal to squeeze in my miles. We make breakfast in bed on birthdays so at 6:30 my wife was up to make breakfast and I had guilt about not helping so I did the right thing and skipped the last 2 miles and hopped off to help. I didn't end up helping much, but at least the effort was there and appreciated.

| | Morning: 10 miles outside. 5 degrees with probably a 20 mph East wind and blowing snow, so wind chill about -15 or so. It wasn't too bad until I turned around at the 5 mile mark. The wind was directly into the right side of my face. The only part uncovered was my eyes and the snow was stinging that right eye. It was awesome. On top of that I had my neck gaiter covering my mouth and nose and it was tough to breathe through that thing. Each breath brought the cloth into my mouth as I sucked in. Quite a few times I held the gaiter away from my mouth so I could breathe easily, then the cloth on the right side would freeze and for a bit I could breathe easy. It was a good run but I was glad to get home. Total time 1:34 or so, but didn't get a great read on time or splits.
Late Morning: 7 TM miles. After coaching & refereeing a 1-2nd grade girls basketball game I came home to finish my miles. I ate too much for breakfast and after the game, so I had a nice side ache the first 2 miles. Slowed and walked a couple times and it eventually went away. Ended the last mile at 7:21 pace. 1% incline.
