2.128 miles - 16:55
A fellow blogger told me that I should gradually start increasing my mileage..... I've gone from 2 miles to 2.128 miles. I think I may be under doing it :) |

1.5 miles - garage treadmill
Single digit temps. I didn't feel like driving to the GYM for their treadmills, so I hit the old beast in the garage. My two little ladies were going to sleep at 8pm so I had to cut it short. |

2 miles - garage treadmill
This treadmill is going to blow up on me one of these nights. The belt kept slipping and the readings were all off on the display. Whatever.... it's freezing and the snow is deep right now.
Bring on the nice weather! What's that? Another Nor-Easter coming on tuesday? AWESOME! |

4 miles - gym treadmill
I kept it slow and easy this morning. My wife & I were able to go to the gym together thanks to my mother watching the girls for us. We were also lucky enough to grab the last two treadmills available. So...... about 5 minutes into the run, I get startled by the woman two treadmills down from me and next to my wife singing at the top of her lungs. I immediately crack a huge smile and know that I can't make eye contact with my wife in the mirror or we will both totally lose it :) You see, my wife and I are goofballs, if someone falls down or is wearing a ridiculous outfit, grunts or sings at the top of their lungs..... all bets are off! What really pushed us over the edge was when the woman started waving her hands in the air and shaking her head back and forth..... all while running on the treadmill mind you. Funny as hell and impressive! |

It was negative 8' this morning when I woke up. I went to the gym after work when the temps warmed up to 10'. Heatwave! |

3 miles - work treadmill
I brought my running gear to work this morning with the intentions of getting in 3 or so miles on the treadmill. I quickly figured out how to use the foreign treadmill because I am tech savy. I would get the baby up to desired pace and then all power would shut down on the friggin piece of @#$%! Three tries later, with the same result, the dialysis technician next door told me that she had to plug in one of her machines to a different outlet so the treadmill could work for me and her patient wouldn't die. I responded......"Yeah, you do that!"
Just kidding about the patient part and my response...... but she did need re-route her machine. |

2 miles - 15:43
It felt great to get outside & off the treadmill. The only problem was that the roads are considerably more narrow due to all the consecutive snow storms we have received. I believe that the normal winter in Massachusetts produces around 42" of snow on average. We've hit 60.3" already this winter..... C'MON MAN!!! |

.34 miles - work treadmill (before it broke) - 20 minutes eliptical (first time)
I almost smashed my face on the control panel of the treadmill as it went from an 8:00 minute pace to a dead stop. I couldn't get the mill to start up again, so I scanned the workout area until my eyes settled on the elliptical. I thought to myself..... I'm not going to get a good workout on this wacky looking thing.
20 minutes later.... my quads were screaming at me! I will NEVER second guess the elliptical again. I could barely make it down the four flights of stairs to my office.
