3hr 59 minutes. about 15.5 on dirt roads and trails. The trails were pretty soft but packed down which felt really good. was super warm today and i quickly removed my jacket and wore a t-shirt. felt much better at the end than previous long runs and feel like i'm adapting although at mile 19 and up i have to sort of grit my teeth a little and pretend i have the eye of the tiger because i do start to break down. 3 water bottles with nuun mixed with gookinade. probably 150 calories in that. 2 whole wheat pitas 120 calories and 1 bag of shot block 200 calories. had plenty of energy left, the key was eating 2 bagels before the run.

1hr 21 mins. it was definitely cold this morning. it was 13F in the car when i drove to work and it was a bit windy. everything was fine mostly until i took a shower and then i had severe pain. i guess i need to wear like 5 layers of underwear. this is the 2nd time this year i wanted to throw up from frostbite to a certain area. 

now that the pain in my hip/ankle/knee is gone, pain has crept into my middle back randomly at about 11am today. i don't know what is wrong with me.

only ended up skiing about 3hrs with my brother. we both decided that skiing was ok but not great and this allowed me to hit 70mpw for the first time in too long. i'm finally feeling pretty healthy again (with the help of advil) 1hr 13 mins.
