Training Log - February 9

Looked outside this morning and it was snowing hard. I knew we were supposed to get about an inch before a cold front moved in, so I decided to wait to see if the snow would let up before the temperatures fell. The snow finally let up, scared off by a twenty mile an hour wind from the north. The temps are falling...down to 0 by sundown and -25 by morning. The windchill is way below zero now and will be -50 most of the day tomorrow.

Needless to say, today was a day for running on the treadmill. I ran a 5k. That's a total of 15.4 miles for the week. I'm officially "in training" now for the year. That means I'll be slowly increasing my mileage, watching what I eat, and preparing for the races I hope to run this year.
