Clyde's Comeback!

DC loop. It was the first time I've ran it since all the flooding. I was wondering if I could make it all the way around without getting re-directed. I made it but had to jump a few "closed trail" signs. Legs were extra heavy and I think there was some poor circulation because my feet felt really swollen. Anyways about 7 miles into it I started to loosen up. 

B-hills loop. Kind of chilly out but still wore shorts. Nice and EZ just enjoying the morning. Everything is kind of tight and I need a good session with the stick. 

Did another lap around the B-hills run tonight. Legs felt pretty dang good. There's a cool breeze in the air and it looks like old man winter aint done yet. 

B-hills out and back this morning. Nothing special- just getting in a run. It was raining so I got soaked. Glad I got it in though. 

4.1 miles tonight on the treadmill. Watched the start of the second half of the Texas Bowl. Had a hard time running because I smashed my thumb today. The finger nail is black and blue. It was throbbing so bad and running just sped up the throbs. Tried to at least hold it above my head sometimes. 

EZ treadmill run while watching the end of the Army vs SMU bowl game. Poor kicker couldn't get it done for SMU to finish off the game. 

20 mile run with Logan this morning. It was cold... sub 20F in STG is cold around here. We got going at 7 a.m just before the sun came up. We ran the same loop I did last week on my 20 miler. So it's 2 laps out to the freeway and around. Hit the first one in 1:11 and the second in 1:06. Not as fast as I ran it last week but we still beat the 7 min guy. My hamstrings were both pretty tight and the coldness just intensified the effect. Anyways nice to finish off 2010 with a solid long run. 

Planned on running today. But just never got a chance. We had company and with all the hype of the day there just wasn't time. In the end it turned into a nice day off of running and the legs were thankful for the rest.
