Nice run in the rain with close to 1000 feet elevation gain. Ran a 17:25 5k on the way back down. I think I could run pretty fast if I do one of those downhill half marathons.

AM: Easy 7 miles with a couple strides

PM: 5.25 stroller miles with Jake

Finished off the year strong, probably won't fit in a run tomorrow but we'll see.

Warmed up about a mile and then did 3x mile on the grass with Jake and Kolten. Field was wet and grass was kinda long and there was one couple hundred meter stretch where the ground was super uneven and covered by leaves. No significant hills.

I kept with Jake on the first one and got dropped on the next two. I ran 5:44, 6:00, 5:50. Last two are somewhat estimated because my watch was being lame. Jake beat me by like 15-30 seconds on the last two. My legs were still feeling the mileage from earlier this week so I didn't feel fresh for this workout, but I've got a ways to go before I'm challenging Jake in races.

Cooled down about a mile.

Easy run with a couple 200m pickups at mile pace. Felt like spring today.

Cold wet slushy and snowy long run with Jake. First time doing a 50+ mile week in years, first time since 2017 which shockingly is now 8 years ago. Have a lot of races I'd like to do this year, gonna keep steadily improving.
