Took the whole family down to the rec center to run this evening.  Alma and Ben got in 5 miles each and Karen did 3 miles.  That's a total of 18.8 for the family!

Got about a foot of snow yesterday and it's falling again today.  But, the snow is being put where I'd like to run.  I could run in the traffic lanes, but I might slow down the flow of traffic a little.  So, I did a 30 minute workout on the treadmill, which took me 2.26 miles at varying speeds from 1.3mph to 6.8mph.  I needed to do something, and that was it.

Took the family to the Rec center this evening for another family run.  It's kind of nice to get a good stretch out on the sidelines after the first mile.  Ben timed one of his miles at 7 minutes.  I timed 4 miles in 32:30 or about 8:08/mile.  I'm happy that we're all getting into better shape.  As for me, my mileage has dropped off pretty steeply this week.  Maybe that's because I'll be a senior citizen tomorrow.

Ran twice again; 10 miles on my own and 5 with the young men and other leaders.  I'm concerned about many of them completing.  Some of them have never shown up for the Saturday runs and the milage starts increasing from here.  The two that went today kept a very good pace:  5.05 miles in 42:30, or 8:25/mi.

Earlier, I ran 10.11 miles in 1:27:24 for an average pace of 8:39/mile.  Every mile was 8 something except for the first mile in 9:12 and the tenth mile in 7:44.
