It was so freakin' cold! I ran with brad, whose eye lashes froze! The wind gusted so hard, a couple of times, that he and I were practically running in place. When I got home I had to run my fingers under cool water to thaw them out...that was extremely painful. I'm glad I went out. These were some of the worse conditions I've ever run in, the toughness factor was way up there. Oh yeah, I used a garmin for the first time ever. The miles were we were running into the wind we ran 7:50ish. that is awful!

my Piriformis was extremely tight today, probably from the drive yesterday. I ran with casey which was good because it forced me to take it easy. He kept saying stuff like, "you just love to distract me by talking so you can push the pace don't you?" By the time we were done I felt warmed up and the p. was better. I've eatten way way too many cookies!

Did stretching and took 800mg of Ibuprofin. It was much easier to start out. I did 2 two mile loops and then my favorite loop (5.1) Which is a hilly one. 7 miles into this run I stopped to stretch and decided it would be a great idea to dig in to it, you know to massage it. As soon as I let up it went into full borne spasm.

So here I am in deliverance country walking around like quasimoto and all of the cows on my right were staring at me like I was retarded... they may be right. I stopped a second time to stretch and the old man comes out of the house to get some firewood and looks at me all cockeyed and laughs. That felt nice. It was tough getting started again but after about .2 miles I was fine. Unfortunately the llamas weren't out to cheer me up! On the road back into town all the houses were lined up behind a mess of telephone wires. The row of Crumbling shingles, aluminum and asbestos siding, and asymmetrical architecture reminded me of how West Egg must be assembled (from the Great Gatsby).

The massage and Ibuprofin finally paid off. My butt is feeling much much better. Still tight but not painful! I ran on my parents treadmil and watched footy of my sister and I (a few cameo's by Mr. Paul Petersen) running in High School... She was so freaking tough! Trail Race tomorrow I am taking the tennis ball and Ibuprofin with me!

Huffs 50k Trail RElay race....  Never was able to run "hard".  Much of the trail was single track, hilly, rooted, and rocks were hidden beneath the leaves. Not little rocks either. (my time for 10.8 was 1:14;26

The weather was 32 degrees, course was a nice mix of mud, Ice, and standing water. I had a face first wipe out at mile 4... in 6 inches of water (that was under a quarter inch of ice). That was a fun last 6 miles. I ran very conservatively being careful of my foot placement. Not a bad time considering... and I had a blast and got to get filthy dirty! Company was excellent, Tom Dever, and Tim Fears as well as the Terre Haute North girls and boys teams, we had a total blast. A much needed mental break! It was actually 10.8 and I ran that in 1:14. I took my split at 10 miles and inserted it here, since my only option was a 10 mile xc race. The last .8 was extremely winding, and up hill...
