Running 1:23:02 15.82 km (5:15 / km) +53m 5:10 / km
shoes: 201409 Asics Gel Sonoma
I had contemplated a longish run for today, but I elected instead to run a 2x15 minute tempo. Conditions were warm - a few C above zero, but there were many patches of ice and puddles that were difficult to negotiate along the river. My pace was slower than I had hoped - around 4:10/km, but the effort was solid nonetheless. I had a little spike in my pace on the return trip when I caught sight of a guy and was compelled to catch and pass him.

Note
Megan and Terry's wedding. I had a quasi-formal role, as I walked the mother of the bride down the aisle before taking a seat; I had the distinction of being the person in attendance who had known the bride the longest (apart from her family).
Unless I am mistaken, this is the 7th wedding I have attended.

Cruise over to BU. For a long section of the Riverwalk between Mass Ave and the BU Bridge, near the MIT boathouse, the sidewalk is basically a sheet of ice several cm thick. It was a little perilous.
Running 40:00 [3] 7.0 km (5:43 / km)

CSU indoor track workout. Tonight's workout was 800, 1600, 800, 1600, 800; a good crew was in attendance, including Magnus and Alex. I felt sort of meh; I can tell that my fitness has declined during my illness. I hung with the speedy group, deliberately shedding a second or two each lap. I felt like my legs just weren't turning over that quickly - as opposed to oxygen or energy being the limiting factor. I changed the last 800 to 2x400 to try to achieve better form and quicker turnover.
I was definitely not spritely today, but I actually felt better on the run home than I usually do, possibly because I was running so slowly. Hopefully, I can return to form quickly.
Splits:
800s: 2:48, 2:46
1600s: 5:49, 5:59
400s: 1:22, 1:23

Morning jog with a few pickups. Conditions - +4 C - felt bizarre, and I ran in a river of slush on the sidewalks.

Running 32:00 7.2 km (4:27 / km)

Tempo treadmill at War Memorial - 20 minute tempo, 5.15 km.
I warmed up for ten minutes, then ran 2x10 minutes at 3:53/km with a 1% incline. I took a two minute break to get water and ran two minutes easy between the bouts. It was ludicrously warm in the gym; I was dehydrated like an overly baked potato. Tough. I was really tempted to stop at 18 minutes, but I decided to push to 18:45 to get a round three miles. With only 1:15 left, I just stuck it out to the full 20.
