| PM - lots more snow than I had expected - so Finn and I went for a run on the golf course Conditions were quite slippery in spots. I only fell 5 times though, but Finn had a blast - which made this a fun run.
Good news - the golf course was in financial trouble and could not find a buyer - so the city got a grant from an organization that converts golf courses to parks. No development will take place and the course will become a passive green space with trails etc. Ironically that’s what I have been using it for since I moved here - sort of without official permission.
PM - About 1.5 mile walk in the snow to try to "rescue" daughter Delaney on her way back from college, who had to abandon her car about 3 miles from the house. The road she was on was impassible (not plowed or treated) and when she tried to turn around, she got stuck in a snowy muddy driveway. We tried to drive out to her - but could not get our SUV out of the neighborhood due to the roads. So we set out on foot to meet her halfway. About a third of the way, a couple in a 4 wheel drive truck picked her up and got her to our neighborhood entrance.

| AM - 4.5 miles to retrieve Delaney’s car where she got stuck in the snow. Sun was out by 10 am - and the snow melt has begun. Got nearly 8 inches of the white stuff.
PM - 3.5 miles with Riley and Finn late afternoon.

| AM - 2 miles on the treadmill - too cold (26) and icy for an outdoor run this morning.
PM - lunchtime run on the treadmill - tempo effort 6 miles overall 7:16 pace - but the last three miles were sub 7 mins. No time for a proper cool down. Good effort.

| AM - 2.5 miles in the cold with Finn this morning. He needed some exercise. We still have snow and ice on the ground and sidewalks up in my neighborhood - so I stayed in the roads where it was dry.
PM - 5.0 miles on the treadmill. Wind picked up to about 20 mph and the sun wasn't out. Felt colder at noon than it did in the morning - and I did not bring gloves or a long sleeve shirt for those conditions. So indoors I stayed. Kept the pace very slow and easy - as I was feeling the drain of the tempo run from yesterday. Good foam rolling and stretching after.

| AM - 2 miles easy on the treadmill before work. Wind chill was in the low 20's.
PM - Lunchtime run. Decided to go outside for a run - but still uncomfortable outside with a cool wind - still in the 30's. Tried for a new route - took a tumble right about a mile into the run. Hands were tucked into my long sleeves - so no abrasions on my hands, but my knee was scraped. I actually stepped into a rut on the road and rolled my left foot. Still sore as I type this. Was able to get 7 miles in nonetheless.
Fall count for 2017 = 4 times. :( (3 in the last 2 months) Not counting the falls on the golf course last Friday in the ice and snow.

| AM - very easy jog to do "damage assessment" from yesterday's fall. I was not going to run but Finn was keen to head outside. Overall not too bad. Left foot has a blister on the side (not sure of its origin) and anteriorly the ankle has some swelling. Fortunately it is really only sore/painful with lateral motion - and so, running in a forward direction is not impacted. Right knee and right hip have soreness from bruising - but again - nothing significant.
PM - 7.25 miles on the treadmill after work.

| AM - 2 miles on the treadmill and then 1000 meters of indoor rowing followed by some stretching and push-ups/sit ups.
PM - treadmill workout: 13 x 400 @ VO2 max /threshold with 400 rest. 1.25 mile warm up and .75 miles cool down. Good workout - started out doing 6:31 pace and worked my way down to 5:42 pace for the last one. Meant to do 12, but decided to one more for good measure.

PM - 4 miles on the treadmill on a cold afternoon. Did 2000 meters of indoor rowing after.
Had a decent year of running in 2017. Just over 2200 miles logged; and no serious injuries. I raced the gamut of distances too. My first ultra marathon of 50 miles (symbolic of being age 50); 2 marathons (Berlin and NYC); half marathon (Des News); 5ks amd 10ks and 2 track races at all-comers meets of 3000 and a mile. I ran with friends and ran a few competitively.
Looking forward to the New Year - with some additional volume and some new experiences - like my first cross country race since high school.
Happy New Year!
