this was after a 2 hour nap at home. Flew this morning on a non-stop Alaska flight.
42:26 total run time. ran a tempo run on the CW track. 6 minutes warm-up then 3.5 mile tempo- 1 mile 8:01, second mile 8:01, third mile 8:00and last 800 3:47. The cool down for remaining time.
Since I hadn't found time to do the exercise bike (very important for my knee stability) I did it for 30 minutes right after my run(9.8 miles but can't submit on same day or it blocks out the running miles). I am pretty sore. No time to exercise tomorrow and Saturday will be pretty busy too.
good week so far. just a very busy season. | Add Comment |

45:46 total time. road conditions terrible. The shoulder was taken up with snow drifts. I was slogging through the snow drift at times because of the cars.
Anyway, not easy going despite this being my "easy" day. | Add Comment |

25 extenders. strained my back shoveling snow so I didn't do sit-up.
ran for 47:30 and pretty bad footing. couldn't go very fast. The total distance is a bit of a guess. was planning on fartlek training but just being able to run was good enough. | Add Comment |

25 extenders.
65:15 run. still no shoulders. lots of snow and ice to negotiate. this was the same 7.5 mile loop I have run several times before. can't wait for the snow and ice to dissipate. | Comments(1) |

I felt really tight and sore after yesterday. Because of the snow I had to run on the hard surface the whole time yesterday. Today I ran to the track. I wasn't pushing at all and ran 2.75 miles at tempo (8:19, 8:14, 6:05). The cool down was pretty slow. | Add Comment |
