Wednesday 12/29
5pm- I ran 80 minutes pretty steady on the country roads. The temperature today was slightly above freezing and felt much better. My quads are feeling tight though, probably from the roads this week. I need to get a massage when I get back to Austin.

Thursday 12/30
11am – 40 minutes on the roads easy. The shoulders of the roads have been cleared of snow, so I can run sometimes on the dirt shoulder, which is nice.
