Great afternoon weather.  Feeling pretty good.  Got honked at twice by cars I didn't recognize, don't know if that's good or bad.

Pondered lots on my jog today.  I'm not looking forward to future treadmill runs.  I'm thinking I will ride my bike on the kinetic trainer I have quite a bit this winter.  Maybe start swimming too, I'm a horrible swimmer.  A triathlon may be in the works for next year with running as my top priority.

Spent the afternoon up in Midway with Jing.  My parents have a second home and they're nice enough to let us use it. 

Great place to run, 50 degrees and a little windy. 

Averaged 6:28 for the run.  Hottub afterwards, hard to beat the run / hottub combo.

Long run didn't happen today thanks a lot snow! I rode the stationary bike for 60 minutes at a hard effort.

Felt like I got a good workout but it's hard for me to get my heart rate nearly as high on the bike as I can running.

Spent my day moving boxes.  My work is moving offices so today I got some good cross training in.  Went for a jog afterwards to finish the workout.

Did my hill route today.  Not feeling 100% today, a little congested so I didn't attack it.

Managed to keep it slightly under 7 minute pace. 

Lovely weather, happy to be in shorts and a t-shirt.

Felt lots better today.  Progressively picked up the pace on this run.  Easy miles at about 6:45, marathon at 6:15 and threshold at 5:25. 

Need to take a cue from Bam and improve my diet, well minus the McDonald's.

Busy day.  Have my niece's first birthday party tonight. 

My brothers came for the party, always nice to see them. One of them joined me on the run, he's a natural. I'm trying to get him to start running at least 20 miles a week.  He's just under 6' and weighs 145. 

We did an easy 3 at 7 minute pace then dropped the pace for the last mile. 5:20 for me, starting to feel more comfortable running at this speed.   He managed 5:45.

Ball of right foot has been sore the last couple of days.

I plan on riding the bike lots next week and running less. Fine tuning my plans for next years racing schedule.  I'm excited to have a more organized approach to training and racing.   

 

Good luck to Jake and Andrea tomorrow! I will be giving the refresh button a good workout.

Great day for a jog, low 40s and sunny around 1 pm.

Another low mileage week, feeling good on my jogs just want to make sure foot heals before boosting mileage in December.
