Another busy week. I have great ideas like running home from work and getting up super early to go run before I’m “on-duty” with Nadia, but they never seem to happen! Maybe with Springing Forward I’ll have more opportunity to run, especially as it gets warmer!

Saturday was an easy 3 miles on the Metrodome loop that was very unexciting, lots of icy sidewalks and a super cold wind (-7 wind chill and steady 21 mph winds).

Sunday I went out to try a new loop which ended up being longer and colder than I anticipated.  I ran down Bloomington Ave to Minnehaha Parkway and back up 10th Ave/Chicago Ave for a total of 7 miles.  A lot of icy sidewalks, but I decided to work on running on the balls of my feet during the dry parts and then just surviving on the icy sections.  There are actually some rolling hills along the southern parts of Bloomington and I got pretty tired.

I was rewarded for my 7 miler by getting a fever and a hacking cough.
