It’s a good thing we got out and rode our bikes last week, because it may not happen again for a while. It started snowing Friday night and didn’t really stop until a couple hours ago. If this year is anything like last year, we’re going to see a lot more snow between now and summer.

Since I wasn’t going to be running my usual 5k loop around the neighborhood, I decided to run a mile under 8 minutes. It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve done that, so I set the treadmill for 7.6 mph and let it ride. It got pretty hard by the end, but I made it.

After that I set it to 6.2 mph and ran another mile, but then I broke down and walked a couple minutes during mile 3. That’s sad, because when I started running at 6.2 mph again after that I just kept running until 5 miles had come and gone. I decided to try listening to music while I ran today and I randomly hit upon a song that made it really easy for me to run. Big Audio Dynamite’s Sightsee M.C.! I’ll have to find a few other songs like that and put them all into a nice playlist and see what happens.
