    I didn't know that was a dirty word. Oops. But seriously, why so?

    March total to date – 105.41

    Nominal Challenge Goal – 225 miles
    Real Goals: Stay healthy. Train well toward Boston. Run well at the USATF Masters 8K Championship in Virginia Beach.

    Today's notes – I've been taking Monday as a rest day the last few weeks. This has been driven by Monday scheduling with volunteer work from 2 to 5, and dinner with my daughter at 6. Running would have to happen in the morning, and I typically want to sleep well after the weekend. Also, I had noticed a few weeks ago that I wasn't really recovered enough from hard weekends to run Monday morning comfortably. Monday evening would be okay for recovery, but doesn't work with my schedule.

    But today, I had time in the morning without feeling pressured by the schedule. The weekend was fairly light by marathon training standards, and I felt pretty healthy. And the news is full of Winter Storm Stella, which is supposed to start up this evening and give us 11-22 inches (28-56 cm) of snow through Wednesday. That much snow could result in unplanned reductions in mileage run on Tuesday and/or Wednesday, and I could potentially lose some running miles to travel Friday through Sunday. So I got out and hit the road for a short run at 10:30.

    The training plan says "easy plus 4 strides" today. I took a familiar 4.3 mile route around my neighborhood, adjusted to add a little distance, and tacked on the strides between fire hydrants on my street. That came out to 5 miles, which wasn't long enough to crunch my schedule or beat me up. Then I went about the rest of my day, and got back to my computer in the evening. As I write this, there are a few snow flakes in the air. I confidently expect I'll be shoveling my driveway in the morning.

    The real puzzle is what I do tomorrow and Wednesday if the weather forecast turns out to be accurate. Oh, well. I have all morning tomorrow to look at what's happening and think about what I'll do about it.

    Total so far: 65.4r + 42.3w = 107.7 miles

    Had it in me to run tonight. I figured since I wasn't miserably sick that I'd suck it up and go run, just in case I get worse tomorrow.

    Lake effect snow warning tonight into tomorrow. Figures now that it's getting dark later, there's a lot of snow.

    Everyone in the NE : Hang on tight, Sounds like you are going to get slapped really hard with a winter storm. Ironically other than some cold days we have had a very mild winter with only about 40cm (16 in) of snow when we usually get at least 120cm (47in). Ours is that light fluffy stuff that you can sweep away with a broom. You are going to get that Heavy Wet Sloppy Miserable crap.
