Today was my last day of vacation so waited and ran in the afternoon when it was warmer.  It was 37 but windy so it felt much colder.  I felt good today but just ran easy.  Nothing special just trying to get the miles back up.  I did see a car wreck right in front of me.  I was waiting at an intersection and a car was waiting to turn and another car came by the other way and just drifted into his lane and side swiped him.  They are probably lucky that he didn't drift over enough to hit him head on.  Other than that pretty normal run.  Back to work tomorrow and need to get into a good routine.

It was very windy today (20 mph+) and I didn't feel like battling the wind so just stayed in on the TM.  It was an easy day anyway and just took it nice and slow.  I felt ok but a little sluggish.  I am trying to just build back up slowly and got to realize that Dec was really bad month and lost a lot of base.  It is going to take me several weeks to get that back.

It wasn't as cold this morning (30) and only a light wind.  Started off real easy this morning since I was having a hard time getting going.  I felt good once I got into the groove and ran smoothly the rest of the way.  Might get some snow tonight so that might mean the TM for tomorrow.  Hopefully not.

It was 10 degrees and very windy today so stayed in on the TM.  I started off real easy around 9:15 pace and took it slow the first couple of miles.  Then I started picking it up and ran the last couple of miles in the low 7's.  It felt good to run a little faster for a change.
