Today, I dressed warm enough to sweat with two long sleeved shirts and two pairs of gloves.  It was nice not to have frozen fingers when I got back.  It was actually 6 degrees warmer than Saturday with thermometers ranging from 5 degrees to 9 degrees.

Speed wasn't quite there with an average pace of 8:50/per mile.  I attribute some of that to the bulky running clothes, but mostly to negotiating the ice and snow to avoid falling.

Hopefully, the worst of the cold is over and I'll be able to start getting more miles done.

Dressed up warm like yesterday, but the temperature was also warmer at 23 degrees and I got a little too warm.

Ran a reverse route, mostly downhill at the start and mostly uphill at the end.  Part of the reason was to run on the left side for safety while negotiating the ice and snow.  Another reason is that the Provo City marathon will start out downhill and end up level.

Average pace was 8:54/mile today.

Ran with youth group, but there was very little time.  Indoor track.  Mutual followed but we didn't stink too bad.

I had resigned myself to the treadmill this morning because of the weather report.  I thought it would be wet and sloshy.  Instead, it was a cool, mostly dry 20 degrees, with a new half inch of snow.  Turned out to be a very nice run.  5.49 miles in 48:39 (8:51/mile).

The plan was to run 10 miles and then run 3 with Ben at 8:00.  But, I slept in too long and only had time for 3 before 8 o'clock.  After the 3 with Ben, I ran 4 more and called it a day.  Temperature was a reasonable 19 degrees and a very light snow fall.  Pace was slow for various reasons:  10.08 miles in 1:32:50 or 9:13/mile.
