Halfway into the week and I finally logged some miles!  It's been pretty crazy around here with a newborn and compound that with the holidays and it's been hard to get time for a run. 

PM: I snuck in 4 easy miles on the treadmill before dinner

PM2: After I got Evelyn in bed and Amy was set with Hannah (our newborn) I ran in a winter wonderland at 8:40 pm.  I didn't have my watch, which was good because it was slow in the slick snow.  I mapped it online after and it was 7.72 miles.

I also got some cross-training in, if you count shoveling my driveway three times today.

AEROBIC BUILDER

Well this is the end of a crazy week for me.  Yesterday I woke up with a really sore throat and this morning it was even worse.  I contemplated texted Jon and telling him I wasn't going to make it.  But, I figured I'd give it a try and if it hurt too bad breathing in the cold air, I would just call it early.

I met Jon and Bryant at Smith and Edwards at 8.  Luckily, once again the roads out west were suitable for running fast and not slick or ice-covered.  Jon is coming off of being sick as is Bryant and I am sick so we kind of said hey let's start the builder at 6:00 pace and go from there.  The first few miles felt hard and my body felt fatigued.  Once we got going I felt stronger and in the end I averaged 5:46 pace for 13 miles.  But, they weren't consistent at all.  We were in the 5:55-6:00 range for first 4-5 miles and I was pretty fast my last two miles.

At the end of the run, Bryant looked like an old man with his frost-covered hair.  Jon checked his phone and it was 2 degrees when we finished.  Brrr.
