Running (Warm/Cool) 12:00 [2] 1.2 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

Running (Time Trial) 34:22 [4] 5.0 mi (6:52 / mi) +50m 6:40 / mi
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

On ~1 inch of snow over pavement. Not too slippery except for toe-off. VF Park loop. Vadim started faster, but I passed him at 4 minutes and finished ~ 2 minutes ahead. Didn't look back though after ~15 minutes, pushing ahead on the presumuption he might be catching up. Had some odd chest pressure at ~20-25 mintues, but that may have been stomach as I'd had a big dinner and breakfast before this 10am run.

Running (Snow, paved) 2:25:00 [2] 12.0 mi (12:05 / mi)
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

From VF Park Washington's HQ, I took the Horseshoe trail west for 75 minutes, then ran back. A mix of crust covered snow, packed snow, ski tracks, semi-plowed roads, and dry roads. I was actually surprised at how much of the trail was really off road, as I'd been closer to a few areas before and hadn't seen the trail. With winter vegetation, the bright yellow blazes stood out well though.

I got almost to 29 (well 80% of the way.)

I also saw a tiny house, (probably 2 floors plus a basement, but on a 15x15 feet footprint) with 3 very nice cars in the driveway. Apparently the owner likes nice cars more than living space.

On a downside, there were 3 unleashed dogs out there. The first was great, responded to the owners call, who was walking nearby. The second was just outdoors while the owner was indoors, and it decided I wasn't going to get past. Big, but shaggy & old dog, vs. jogger with a little whippy stick freshly broken off...

Running (Warmup/Cooldown/Intraspri) 40:00 [2] 4.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

~ 3-inches of crunch-through snow on much of the run. Some pavement (boy that's easier...)

Running (Hill sprints in snow) 22:30 [3] 2.3 km (9:47 / km) +270m 6:10 / km
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

I decided to try my now-favorite cannon-sign to Mt. Joy hill sprints, despite an average of 3-inches of semi-melted/refrozen snow. Pretty bumpy on old tracks and old frozen ski tracks. No ice though.
I averaged 3:36 last week (dry).
Splits
2:16+3:37 = 5:53
2:25+3:12 = 5:37
2:16+3:24 = 5:40
2:05+3:19 = 5:24
It felt hard to keep up a consistent effort..

Running 1:06:00 [2] 6.0 mi (11:00 / mi)
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

Lots of the run was in 3-4 inch deep snow. That got tiring, but I had read PG's log that said he only managed 12 minutes a few days ago (of, admittedly deeper snow), so I slogged through it for 40 minutes or so before returning on a paved road. I alternated between the consistent footing of smooth, but crush-through snow, and the darn-random (but less drag on average) footing of the cross country ski tracks.

Strength (Hops/Skips/Jumps/Sprints) 10:00 [5] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

Some pliometrics. Only allowed 50 minutes due to bad planning again...

Orienteering (Snow/Paved) 2:06:00 [2] 10.0 mi (12:36 / mi) +100m 12:13 / mi
10c shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

Finally managed a long slow run. In blowing falling snow, plus ankle+ deep snow most of the time. The occasional downhill runs in 6 inches of powder were pretty fun as the snow flew out ahead of me, looking down while running (which I did a lot due to snow in my eyes...)
