Weather - 16 degrees, cloudy.

Did a teaser workout today, 2 miles to the arboretum, 1 hour of hill repeats, then 1 mile back the neighborhood.

Feeling light and in great shape.

If there ever was a good time to run 28 miles in snow and cold, this is it...

I'm always stunned when you do an hour of hill repeats, especially if you can say afterwards that you feel light. Incredible.

Awesome workout!

Great workout! I'm not so sure about running in the snow and cold. I'm starting to get soft and ready for the warm weather to return.

Sounds like you are in a good place mentally and physically.

When isn't it a good time to run 28 miles in the cold and snow!

Is the race on Saturday?

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

JD, yes, 28 miles in snow and cold is this Saturday - I feel ready to roll.....
