I’ve survived the snow so far, and managed to run at the prescribed 90% of my peak mileage this past week. Here’s a short recap:
Sunday: 17 miles at 8:55 pace. This is the longest run I’ve ever done. Yay! I spent most of the run truding through sludgy snow.

Monday: Rest. Ahhh.

Tuesday: 12 miles at 8:13 pace. Felt really easy. Goes to show what a difference good footing makes.

Wednesday: 7 miles at 10:30 pace. I was running in the middle of a blizzard, through about 10 inches of fresh snow.

Thursday: 9 miles at 8:30 pace. I was trying to go easy, and managed to. I listened to some really interesting stuff, and had a great run.

Friday: I ran twice, 3.4 in the morning, and then 6.8 later in the day, both at about 8:30 pace. I developed an unusual pain in my right ankle, that I think has something to do with running on snow.

Saturday: My interval day. 5 x 1K at V02 max pace, which turned out to be about 6:45 in snow. 2.75 mile warmup + cooldown, to total about 6 miles.

Total for the week, 60 miles.

As for this week, it started off with a high of -2 on Sunday, with windchill at about -35. I did not run, though I did enjoy some good local theatre. Today I got in 2 x 12 minutes at tempo pace, + 9 miles easy.
