It was warmer today around 30 with a light wind.  I started out easy and was running good but my nose started bleeding after about a mile and I couldn't get it to stop so I ran back to the house.  I got it stopped and then continued on the TM in case it started again. The rest of the run went ok and I didn't have any more problems.  I felt pretty good running and picked the pace up as well.  It has been crazy the last few days and I didn't get any runs in.  I hope this week goes better.

Raining and very foggy out this morning so thought it was safer to stay inside on the TM.  I felt pretty good this morning and just cruised along.  Nothing special but nice to get the run in and start the day off right.  Feel like I am starting to get back in the routine.  I need to make sure I keep my commitment and stay consistent.

My wife had a meeting this morning and the girls were had a two hour delay from school so I stayed inside with them and ran on the TM.  I felt good this morning and wanted to get in some faster miles.  I started off easy and picked it up every 1/4 mile until I was running around MP for the last 2 miles.  I am not really sure what MP is any more but it did feel good to get some faster miles in.

Snowing this morning with slick roads so back on the TM today.  I am starting to get tired of the TM.  I am not a big hater of the TM but after being stuck on it for over a week I am ready to get back outside.  Such is life in Indiana in Jan.  Today was just an easy day.  I kept it slow and steady nothing much else to say.  I felt pretty good and hope I can finally get a full week of running in.  If so, it will be the first of the year.  Off to a slow start but hopefully I can get it in gear and make some progress.

It was -2 outside today with a -17 WC so on the TM again.  I felt good today and started out easy.  I picked it up some the last couple of miles but nothing special.  Good to finally get into a consistent routine.  Going to be a cold weekend so don't see getting off of the TM anytime soon.

It was another cold (2) and snowy morning so back on the TM.  I felt good this morning and started out easy.  After a couple of miles settled into around 7:45 pace for the rest of the way.  It was the longest I have ran in awhile and finished up my first complete week of running since around Thanksgiving.  That is hard to believe.  Hopefully, I can stay in this routine and keep building back up.
