Warm up and then a crappy speed workout attempt. It was really cold and I didn't warm up enough.

Speed workout with Jake and alijah. Getting ready for a 4x400 in January. We ran a 100, 200, 300, and then I ran another 200. So pretty short, sprinted the first 100 and 200, gave a solid effort for the 300m but I was getting asthma problems by then. Awesome day, lots of fun.

Not sure how much mileage I got today but I'm rounding up because I've also been running a lot playing catch with my brother.

Warmed up about a mile,

4x 200m at 30/31 with 30 seconds rest

About half mile recovery

400m at 61/62.

Early morning walk/jog.

2 miles at the rec center on the treadmill, can't wait until it's warm. Then I did dumbbell bench, flys, and curls. Hot tubbed and sauna.

I really need a haircut, hopefully places are open tomorrow.

4x400m should be fun, our only true opponent will be Westminster. I'll be really happy with a 55.

I've also decided I should out a minimum mileage per week at 8 miles, I read a study a while back that said you start getting a lot of long term benefits from running as long as you're doing it at least an hour a week. So about 8 miles. So that's my winter minimum from now on, I'll run much more when it's not freezing.
