AM - 2 miles on the treadmill - too cold (26) and icy for an outdoor run this morning.

PM - lunchtime run on the treadmill - tempo effort 6 miles overall 7:16 pace - but the last three miles were sub 7 mins. No time for a proper cool down. Good effort.

AM - 2.5 miles in the cold with Finn this morning. He needed some exercise. We still have snow and ice on the ground and sidewalks up in my neighborhood - so I stayed in the roads where it was dry.

PM - 5.0 miles on the treadmill. Wind picked up to about 20 mph and the sun wasn't out. Felt colder at noon than it did in the morning - and I did not bring gloves or a long sleeve shirt for those conditions. So indoors I stayed. Kept the pace very slow and easy - as I was feeling the drain of the tempo run from yesterday. Good foam rolling and stretching after.

AM - 2 miles easy on the treadmill before work. Wind chill was in the low 20's.

PM - Lunchtime run. Decided to go outside for a run - but still uncomfortable outside with a cool wind - still in the 30's. Tried for a new route - took a tumble right about a mile into the run. Hands were tucked into my long sleeves - so no abrasions on my hands, but my knee was scraped. I actually stepped into a rut on the road and rolled my left foot. Still sore as I type this. Was able to get 7 miles in nonetheless.

Fall count for 2017 = 4 times. :( (3 in the last 2 months) Not counting the falls on the golf course last Friday in the ice and snow.

AM - very easy jog to do "damage assessment" from yesterday's fall. I was not going to run but Finn was keen to head outside. Overall not too bad. Left foot has a blister on the side (not sure of its origin) and anteriorly the ankle has some swelling. Fortunately it is really only sore/painful with lateral motion - and so, running in a forward direction is not impacted. Right knee and right hip have soreness from bruising - but again - nothing significant.

PM - 7.25 miles on the treadmill after work.
