4 miles this morning. Windy but 46 degrees. Not too bad. Supposed to dip to 8 degrees for a low on Friday. Not really ready for that but I will be. 

Did a couple pickups today on the way home, keeping it around 6 minute pace for a short stretch. Felt good to force my legs to turn over quickly as it's been a while and they'd forgotten. Short term memory loss or something.

Slept in a bit after the alarm so only had time for 3 miles. 35 degrees, little breeze. Nice morning.

Holy Hot Weather Batman! And no, I'm not joking. The crazy warm before the (very cold) storm. Ran at lunchtime today and it was 72 degrees with 20 mph gusts. On the way back the wind was at my back so I ran shirtless and still had to stop and get my HR to go down as I felt so warm. Crazy stuff. Did a couple pickups to 6:30 pace which didn't help but they did feel good. Mostly ran at 8:00 pace, my marathon pace. As others have said a while after a marathon, I can't believe I held that pace for that long. Nice run, now winter begins.

Warmed up by running on the inside track then lifted some weights. Chest press on a bosu ball using dumbbells, then curls and triceps. Feels good to work the upper body.

5 miles in the foggy morning mist. Fairly magical and no breeze so not too cold. 30 degrees but no wind made for a pretty nice run, especially as I was expecting to half freeze. 

AP: 8:38 

Noon: went to Boot Camp. I need to rebuild strength in my core and upper body. It kicked my upper body butt. I could barely lift my arms above my head to wash my hair afterwards. Fun.

8 miles on the treadmill at home. The 20 degree temps and 4 inches of snow didn't scare me but the icy roads and stupid drivers did so I ran while watching Mission Impossible 3. Not done yet but fun show.

75:00 total time.
