1hr 30 min trail run. will hopefully be able to wake up early enough to run my 11.5 mile loop before work. it's interesting how i used to not be able to run in the morning and now i can't seem to run at night. at least i can run sometime still :)

1hr 45 minutes or so, lost track of time on my iphone. left the house at 5:51am, the earliest of the year. was only 15 min late to work. kind of inevitable i think. no matter how early i wake up i just linger around the house longer. there had been freezing rain during the night and i didn't realize that that would mean almost falling the first step i took out the door on the stone steps. i also slid down the driveway and almost hurt myself. i'm glad i've been stretching or i would have definitely pulled something. i'm definitely probably more flexible than about 1% of the population that's my age. even though i stretch 30 min a night now. i should probably be warmed up when i stretch but every since i've devoted every night to it, my ankle has completely stopped hurting and nothing really ails me while running so it's doing enough. the roads weren't too bad because of all the sand on them from previous weather. i feel like i may be getting a little sick. can't put my finger on it yet. i hope not.

11.5 mile loop. left at 5:51 am. got back at 7:36 and was only 10 min late to work instead of the 18 min i was late the day before :)

there is currently an ice storm overhead so running outside in the morning may be impossible. may try to do exercise bike in the morning, who knows...

when i was putting on my work boots this morning i happened to touch the top of my foot between where the bones intersect of the big toe and the next one over on my left foot. i would be more worried that it was a stress fracture but this has happened before about 6 months ago or so. A day off from running is probably a good thing though.

 just signed up for the north face endurance challenge 50 mile race in Bear Mtn, New York in May!
