| After a few days of being under the weather, I had a chance to run again. While the weather was cold, I was determined to run outside not because I could but because I wanted to try out my new Garmin trainer. It is a cool tool and I look forward to fully utilizing it this coming year. It definitely should be helpful in meeting my goals. Anyways, it was below zero when I started my run so I didn't go for too long. Still was able to do my run at a 7:42 clip. |

| Treadmill this morning...completed run in 28 minutes. While I wanted to run outside, the high winds and low temps were a little too daunting. I believe the windchill was minus 20 this morning. |

| Headed outside at 5:15 this morning. It was another very cold morning, but with minimal wind it wasn't that bad once I got going. I am starting to get really comfortable with these middle distance runs which is very satisfying. One month from today, I will be running my first race of the year, a 15K, my first ever. |

| The snow was falling this morning, so I had to take it slow outside. The snow also caused problems for the Garmin so I didn't track my run with it this time. Bummer... |

| A relaxed run. I felt a little crappy in the middle but was able to run through it. |

| I had a bit of a late start this morning, so I headed to the Y and the treadmill. Did a quick three miles in 23:30. Felt pretty good. I really need to get to bed a little earlier so I can get up earlier. |

| Did a three mile hard run this morning. It was a bit chilly, very dark and a little slippery. Still managed to cover the distance in 20:07. Made me feel good that the lack of speed workouts over the past few months hasn't slowed my 5K speed significantly. |

| The weather is slowly warming up which has made the early morning runs a little easier. The roads are also a lot better with less snow and ice. Anyways, I did an easy four miles this morning. The legs were feeling pretty blah throughout. I think the hard run on Tuesday is the major factor in that. |

| First somewhat productive workout in over a week. This cold really kicked my butt. I would say I am back to roughly 85% of normal. I completed the six miles on the treadmill in just under 48:00. The last three miles were done in 7:30-7:45 pace. Hopefully the lack of quality running won't be a long-term issue as I increase my mileage for the upcoming marathon. First real test will be the 15K race on February 6. |

| Five easy on the treadmill over lunch. I really hate the treadmill but I am still getting over my cold and the weather is brutal. I think the temp is 8 degrees and the windchill is minus 15. Hopefully, it will improve at least a little bit by the weekend so I can do my long run outside. |
