Today's marathon schedule called for 8 miles, with 4 of them at my 1/2 marathon pace, which in the middle of winter is an 8 minute mile. I didn't really expect to be able to complete this workout, since the roads are icy and the sidewalks snow covered. I figured if I could just get out of bed, get on the road and jog the 8 miles in, it would be a good day. After a long, slow warmup, I did find a dry stretch on some of the side streets, so I was able to run 30 minutes at a pretty quick pace. Good enough for a mid-winter run.
Tomorrow is a rest day, and then I am scheduled for 14 miles on Saturday. It is supposed to be a cold one, which is OK as long as it's not windy. The office building I work in is really an old converted factory. The hallway extends for 1/3 of a mile each way - hmmm, I wonder if I could come here and get the miles in :)
