Nice run on a day that is starting to (thankfully) warm up a bit! Ran 6 miles with Armand, Jerry, and John and then dropped Jerry off at the cars, and the three of us did another 6-mile loop. No complaints.

Back for a morning run w/ Ben and Steve! There were a couple of slicks of ice on the sidewalk where some melting snow had refrozen, but not too bad in terms of conditions. Hopefully the warm weather of the next few days will wipe out most of the rest of it.

I’d hoped to get an outdoor run on the weekend while in LA, but events conspired against me. Ah well. For treadmill runs, at least, not too bad.

If all goes well, heading to a slightly warmer climate later this week for a few days. Which will be nice, because boy was this morning cold once you factored in the wind chill…

Ran 10 miles this morning; the first four with Armand, Ben, and Jerry, then the last six with just Armand. For the second half, we ran up 7th St all the way to Harvard St and cut over to the reservoir before coming back down through Bloomingdale. Nice little change of pace.

Have you ever felt like a month is going to be a lot of treadmills? That’s this month. (Although in this case it was partially for convenience so that I could work in a run between work and seeing Richard III last night.)

Missed Monday’s run due to sleep issues + pouring freezing rain. Finally (somewhat) made it up today with 4 miles on the indoor track, right before spin class. Hoping to still get a run in tomorrow and be back on track, work willing…

Finally! The sidewalks are now clear enough that running outside is a-ok. Maybe it could stay that way for at least a little while? Please? Pretty please?

Had some awful stomach issues this week, so Tuesday ran just 4 miles to make sure everything was ok. (It was, phew.) Thursday went back up to the normal distance, also with no issues. Am now on Prilosec that should hopefully let everything heal back up.
