 Easy morning run to 1st Dam and back, via canal trail.  I got snowed on the whole run.  I thought that I would feel better today, but my legs felt like I had 20lb. ankle weights on them.  I got snowed on pretty hard the whole run.  6 miles.  45:54

 

I ran again just before noon.  This time I went on my Milleville out and back run.  The snow was just stopping but the wind was blowing pretty good from the South, but at least I got a tail wind coming home.  I felt much better than I had 4 hours before, but still not that great.  I went out with the plan of doing some 2:30 and 3:30 fartleks, if my body could handle it.  I warmed up for 5k and started my first speed-change, uphill and into the wind.  I forgot that the timer on my watch was all meesed up and by the time the 3:30 beaped I had gone 9/10s of a mile.  I cooled for 3:30 real minutes and went again, this time by my crono.  On the way back I decided that my original plan wasn't working very well so I did two mile speed changes with the TOU markings.  My first one was mile 13 of the Half marathon, all downhill in Providence.  I did that in 5:32.  My second mile was mile 24 of the marathon, and it was 5:39.  I cooled down the last 2.2 miles home.  I was surprised I ran as well as I did in me speed-play ,because I felt so heavy the whole run, and the last two days.
