After a week off due to snow, finally running again, and finally back outdoors. A lot of starting and stopping due to ice and packed snow, but at least we were moving.

The last of my five treadmill runs in a row (oof!), and also the last run in before “snowzilla” showed up later in the day and knocked any plans of running out the window for a week.

A combination of cold temperatures and not feeling great resulted in bagging Monday’s run. Still wasn’t entirely up to the great freeze (although it was better out this morning than Monday was!) so I ended up going on the treadmill. (Plus if I started feeling bad it would be easier to stop.)
Didn’t stop, which was a victory, but I was definitely flagging a lot on the last two miles and took a minute walk break at the start of each. All in all not bad (and glad I got the distance in) but clearly not back up to full levels of energy. On the bright side I got a massage on Sunday and the work on the IT band definitely helped with the knee! Easily the least problematic since Norman OK.

So after a large portion of 2015 off, we were rejoined by Jerry, hurrah! Except that the universe is funny that way, so we had another runner join us for part of the run… whose name was also Jerry. Go figure.
Planned distance got cut short due to some issues being had by others, but still a good run overall. (Knee still bothering me for the first mile. *sigh*)

Normally on my weekend runs with the group, we’ll go get coffee/tea/beverages afterwards. I was on my own this Sunday so I ended up mapping out my run so I ran up into downtown Silver Spring, then over to Sligo Creek Park and back… or rather, most of the way back, so that I concluded right by a coffee shop. Got my drink and then had a leisurely 1.6 mile walk home as a combination cooldown/drinking coffee. A little extreme but we all need our rewards!

I consider it a good run if the second segment is under 10:00 min/mile. Sometimes I just hit it. Other times I just miss it.
