Winter Running Thread

[OakLeaf]

I feel for all of you snowed in. Here's someone who's learned to love the treadmill: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw8zRusBE48

Not to rub it in, but we had a perfect day for running here. High 40s, sunshine, not too much wind, chilly enough to keep most everyone but runners off the streets. Saw a bald eagle as I was warming up - they're common enough here, but it's still a treat every time I see one.

I'm starting week 7 of my training plan - like last year, I started with less of a base than I wanted, so I started with the <40 mpw training plan and am still building mileage, now transitioning to the 41-55 mpw plan. So, I kind of split the difference between the workouts that were prescribed for each plan, and wound up with two marathon pace segments of 6 and 4 miles, with an easy mile between - plus warm-up and cool-down, for a total of 14. Feeling good about where I am so far. Really making progress with the new chiropractor and my favorite LMT - besides chipping away at the discomfort from the injuries, my biomechanics are also improving where we're stripping away decades of imbalances and adhesions. Little by little.
