overtaking haynes

3hr trail run. first complete out and back of 6 mile Aspetuck Valley Trail. Also ran around the park some more. Very few people and dogs on the trail although a doberman off leash charge me but didn't growl. it's still unnerving anytime a large dog comes sprinting at you because they all growl. No bad dog encounters today though. pretty good weather, maybe hit 40 so i got to wear shorts. definitely feeling pretty tired. pretty much the only thing i did today was go running. 

ran at night on the track, fields, and h.s. roads. saw a pack of 8-10 deer on the soccer fields which weren't afraid of me at all. started out feeling horrible but by the end felt pretty loose and almost good. 1hr 6 mins. 

water line broke under the road and a car fell into the sinkhole today when i went into work. our building didn't have any water and thus it was unsafe to do anything with chemicals so we got to go home at 1:30 today which enabled me to do an awesome trail run instead of a super lame run around a track at night with no lights. I got to listen to another koontz book on tape while i ran which made the time passing unbelievably well. the only bad thing was the gps crapped out at 3.1 miles and stayed crapped out. I ran 1hr 52 mins on the trails and will give myself a 10 min per mile day. 11.3 miles give or take not too much.

8.6 miles on mostly fields in 1hr 16 min around the h.s.

The track was pretty icy as were the roads, although not as bad as the track. finally got new running shoes which felt pretty good. Did 8x100 striders at the end on the football field. 

got an xmas tree tonight after work. got home late and decided not to go out to the track but to run on the roads by the house. Got 5.5 miles on dirt and the 1hr 34 minutes went by quickly listening to a book on tape.

snow run. we have 8 inches now so probably 6+ inches when i started. Running in the snow with the headlamp was kind of cool but kind of annoying because all the flakes were right in your face. it took me 1hr 37 min to go 9 miles but it was really fun and i saw another runner which was cool. may try to do some xcountry skiing were i go trail running tomorrow. 

it's always been annoying how my left hand always freezes while my right hand is fine. i can barely type with my left right now. the run was pretty good. i did a couple repeats on an unplowed dirt road which was gorgeous. about 5 miles on dirt with snow and the rest on disgusting sloppy roads. 1hr 43 min

couldn't pass up the snow so did 6 miles of xcountry skiing after. 1hr 41 min. it's great to have a 6 mile loop of mostly carriage roads only 7 minutes away.
