1.29 miles - 10:31

My first ever run with a GARMIN.  Interesting run in my neighborhood with tons of snow and ice on the roads.  I made myself a pair of screw shoes with an old pair of asics.  They worked nice with no slippage.

2 miles (screw shoes) - 18:05

Very slow going on about 4" of semi-packed sidewalk snow.  I decided to go out on my lunch break and use my Garmin for the second time.  The snow was kind of like running on the soft sand at the beach.  A lot of deep spots, but overall fun.

4 miles - 31:09

I was actually able to get outside with shorts and a long sleeve.  Awesome weather.... about 34 degrees with sunny skies.  A lot of melting going on which made it interesting puddle/slush jumping.       Splits - 8:15, 7:57, 7:32, 7:22.

4 miles - work treadmill

First mile was @ 8:00 - 2nd @ 7:47 - 3rd @ 7:35 and the last mile was @ 6:58 first 1/2 and @ 6:40 for the last 1/2 mile.  I'm going to get a haircut today as my afro was definitely slowing me down.

4 miles - 31:41

Great run.... very cold & joggy.  I've read a lot lately about trying to build a substantial aerobic base by keeping the heart rate in certain zones.  Even though I haven't received my heart rate monitor as of yet... todays pace felt nice & easy.

splits 8:02, 7:52, 7:53, 7:54.

I'm still waiting for the heart rate monitor that didn't initially ship with my Garmin.  I was trying to keep my pace close to 8 minutes per mile on this run.... we'll see what the data reveals when I strap on the monitor.

Splits - 7:58, 7:59, 7:53, 7:54, 7:50, 7:54, 7:44.

6 miles - very slow (heart rate monitor)

Good run, but super slow.  I was trying to keep my heart rate in an aerobic zone as to build up my aerobic base.  I guess I'll be running some high 8's and low 9's for a while.

Bailed from work during lunch to fit this one in.  My wife is giving my mother a photo-facial tonight, so I don't think there will be time for a second run.... with the little ladies needing supervision and all.

7 miles - Gym Treadmill

I took the previous two days off due to a nagging cold and cough that the little ladies past on to me.  I'm trying to be more aware of taking needed breaks instead of powering through something and making it worse.  The streets were covered with snow this morning so I had to take my skills to the gym ;)
