I wussed out and went to the gym to run on the treadmill instead of running on the icy roads.  On the bright side, I am sure I got a better workout for the distance.  I love workouts like this.  Sometimes I think I should just go back to my days of pounding out 6 miles at a 5:30 pace on the treadmill and forgetting about doing the long/slow stuff.  It's a much more efficient use of my time but of course it isn't ideal for marathon training. 

 Played tennis for an hour in the evening.  I need to practice more often.

 Total time 40:30, Distance 6.66 miles, average pace 6:05, ~average heart rate 153

i usually don't like the treadmll...but i agree, there are days when it just sounds better to crank up the speed on the treadmill and avoid the elements. anyway, nice run!
