First time running in the snow.  It was very icy and my feet got wet near the end of my run.  Couldn't do track work since my feet kept slipping when I ran around the track.  The average pace was a little bit slower than a 9min/mi.

Easy 3mi jog in the wind and cold.  The ice cleared off of the road, so it was easier to run.  The pace was around 8:30/mi.

I didn't know how I was going to run the race.  I just went out easy and ended up feeling really good, so I picked up the pace.  The course was 2 loops, and the weather was perfect for a marathon.  27 deg @ start and 44 at finish.  I layered with throw away clothing and removed clothing as I went along.  Ended up at mile 21 in tights, a dry fit t-shirt , thin gloves, and a head band that covered my ears.  The first loop I took easy.  I felt so good the second loop that I though I might just pick up the pace.  I started passing a bunch of runners.  By mile 20 I was pretty sure I could qualify for Boston again and I kept on track to do so.  Since my training wasn't quite what it was last year and the only time difference is 45 sec slower, I'm pretty sure I will be hurting for days.  Good race though, I am very happy with my time.
