Long Run. Feeling good about skipping race yesterday. Reports coming in of slipping and sliding, cuts, busted knee, etc. All that and a 6.6 mile "10K". Last year the course was 5.8 miles. Guess the RD thinks its fine to keep taking people's money as long as it averages out over the years.

CBEM co-founder cross-training for next ten days, so heading out to meet The Hall of Famer at City Park. Open the door and damn! It snowed again. Just a dry dusting, so runnable, but quickly change shoes and throw on some wind pants since 26° air temp will feel about 10° colder with snow cover.

1.81 miles to City Park at 7:39 average pace. Quads heavy from TM, but rest of me feels pretty good. JT did mile repeats on TM yesterday, so he's just looking to log some miles. We do a very hilly 7.01 miles at 7:46 average pace.

Solo again and wanting to get in some drills and striders. 2.12 miles over to the Jr. High Track at 7:34 average pace. Cruising smoothly now. Ten minutes of drills and striders, then finish with 1.95 mile jog back home at 7:42 average pace. Good, honest day's work.

Considering some lower body work later today, but will wait until post-nap to make the final decision.
