Soooooo, Erin dropped her cell phone in a glass of milk last night. There was just no amount of blow drying to get milk out of it, so she dug out her old cell phone and we reactivated it. Good thing she held on to that thing. Live and learn. Hard to get upset since I've destroyed a few myself. Geez, the snow is coming down HARDER since I've been typing!
I did go out and shovel snow for about 30 minutes, but I just don't have the heart to list that kind of thing as a workout. I helped build an enormous snow man as well, which was about the hardest thing I did all day, but I'm not listing that either.

Up at 3:30am, layered up and out the door at 10 degrees. Was able to run in the middle of the roadway for most of the run, as the sidewalks were nothing but a twisted ankle and broken leg with all of the snow and ice on them. A few idiot cars refused to move over a little bit, even though there was only me and them and GOD out there. Got home and my middle layer was wet and had iced up a bit. My face was the only thing to get even slightly cold. I wore my biking pants, which are a bit thicker and warmer, which worked out very well. Oh, my tongue did get a little cold. Stupid winter!
On tready at work, AFTER work.
Whew.
17:40 Second 10 miler ran. I'm kinda tired.
February 6
On tready at work. Several inches of snow and ice outside.
Tomorrow I have a 20 mile run....and here's my problem.....piles of snow and ice are everywhere.
Sooooooooooooooo, here is tomorrow's plan. Instead of coming home from work at 3 and doing 20 miles through snow and ice covered sidewalks and roads, I'll get up at 3:30am, go do 10 miles, which I should be able to pull off right down the middle of the road on a SUnday morning. THEN, after work I'll come home and do 10 again. How does that sound?

Watched some videos on swimming today, and 3 "experts" each showed 3 different ways of forearm placement during the pull/push. Very confusing. Called Mimi for clarification, and I think I've got it now. Geez! I'm only doing it slightly different, but apparently engaging some different muscles, because I was getting tired faster.

Gave a spin class to Amy and Marc after work AT work. I did about 20 minutes waiting for them, then gave each about 25 minutes.
Ok...I finally broke down and ordered some new running shorts. My Pearl Izumi's were getting loose (compression) and beginning to have a smell that would NOT go away, even after being washed. YIKES! 2XU's, I hope you work well.

We drove out to the gym, and just a we pull up, I realize I left my bag at home, so I dropped family off and drove back home, got bag, came back to gym and did my run. We went to Moe's for lunch, Starbucks, then over to Sam's for supplies. Finally home, where Finn peed on the floor.
