Went out in the middle of the day for my run. My legs were definitely tired, but not as heavy as I would have expected. The outside of my hamstrings into the IT band were really tight though. I just went on an average run, ended up averaging 6:18s. I expect my legs to be really tired and heavy tomorrow.

Felt surprisingly better than I expected to today. I went and did six miles, and my legs never really felt super heavy or tired. I also felt really relaxed and my cheeks were bouncing most of the run. Averaged 6:11s for the run, and then did 4x100 meter strides after. Things felt good all around.

The weather was not the most ideal for my run today, but it ended up being a great run anyways. The first four miles of my run were against the wind, and of course the worst part of the wind was in the open going up the long hill before I got to four miles. Between the wind and the hill I was pretty spent aerobically at the top. I recovered on the steep downhill and then once I turned onto 8th east I had the wind at my back and felt really good the rest of the way back. I actually passed a guy that I'm pretty sure is on the track or xc team at USU, but I think he was taking it easy. At any rate ended up averaging 6:11s.

Didn't really care how fast todays run wasy, but I went out and felt pretty good so it was a pretty typical run. My legs, especially my quads, felt a little tired on the uphills, but not nearly what I would have expected. I wanted to throw in some surges at the end, but after I did one my legs started to really give out so I just waited until the last 200 meters and then just kicked it in. Between the temperature and tired legs I couldn't get them going super fast. The average pace for the run ended up being 6:11 again.

I need to start working on my core again. I've really neglected it over the last couple of months.

First run in the cold and I didn't have a toque, so it was risky with my ears being too cold. Did a little over five miles and just enjoyed the run. Did a few quick strides afterwards.

Went out for twelve. Luckily I bought a Roque yesterday. I was surprised with how tight my calves were throughout the whole run. My glutes also got worse after each upfill. The 10th north last big uphill really caused them to lock up. I could feel that my left foot was bruising as well from the pounding. Ended up averaging 6:18s, so an extremely good run.
