Quick post on a busy day

3.5 miles/45 minutes/4.5mph pace

Today I see the temperatures are above zero and the wind chills are not as bad...but the side streets and sidewalks are still a bit slick. I decided to run on the treadmill again so I wouldn't slip and pull anything. Also I had to run early since I have a busy day ahead.

I tried something a little different today on the treadmill. I placed my IPad over the display started the treadmill and ran without looking at the display. I didn't' know what speed I was running or for how long.
I looked after about 14 minutes and I was past the 1 mile mark. The next time I peeked I was at 1.87 and not sure of the time. I ended with 3.5 miles and about 45 minutes. It was then that I looked at my pace which was comfortable...4.5. Overall happy with the accomplishment today. Tomorrow it is supposed to be even nicer but I have to pick up Brad and Karen from the airport so I am not sure if I will get out so I am glad I did what I did today!

I followed the 45 minute run with 45 minute yoga. It felt good. We have only missed one day of yoga in the new year. My back is still feeling better so something seems to be working.

Let's hope for fairer weather this week so I can get back outside. I have a 10K next weekend and I haven't been outside for a while now.
