Started off the week with an inch or so of snow, followed by 10" at end of week. My kind of winter weather!
Monday: 6
First of many Champlin trails runs this week. Fun running on snow-covered trails.
Tuesday: 0
Sick. Good day for a day off.
Wednesday: 0
I seldom take a double-zero, and there's no reason I can't run with a bad head cold, but I just have no energy or motivation today.
Thursday: 18
Back at it with an unintended triple, kind of:
AM 10 miler around the pond, plus a little extra. Slow and sluggish, but I'm out there.
Noon 2 miler showing Elise the potential new WHS XC course.
PM 6 miler at Champlin. Joined many Land Trust members for a #DStrong pic at Charlie's Overlook, then continued in the trails until dark.
Friday: 0
Poor planning on my part. No other excuse. Disappointing.
Saturday: 21
AM 16 Miler. 4 easy, 8 targeted at MP, 4 easy. Matthew joined me for the middle 10 miles. My 8 middle ranged from 6:49 down to 6:07. A bit all over the map, but with an average of 6:26, pretty close. Finished as the snow was starting to stick to the secondary roads.
PM 5 Miler. Working indoors starting on my taxes, was just itching to get outside in the snowstorm. Very slow going in Champlin, with most of it in 8" of virgin snow.
Sunday: 5
Sore from shoveling 10" and yesterday's runs. Drove to and ran from Bradford with Matthew. Ran a number of snow-covered roads I had never been on before. Popped into Woody Hill for a bit, but the roughly foot deep of virgin snow proved a bit too strenuous for today. Good run to end the week.
Weekly totals:
Run: 50
Synopsis: Happy that I got to 50, but not the inconsistent manner in which I achieved it. Taking 3 days off from running in a week does not a successful marathon plan make. Let's move on and have more consistent weeks going forward.

Good moral "Let's move on and have more consistent weeks going forward." Awesome week packed into a few days. Hope you are feeling better.
