A 27-mile long run on Saturday was followed by two reasonable meals and a (almost) 24-hour fast, followed by 2 hours of Super Bowl-induced gluttony. This morning I was introduced to a whole new meaning to the words "recovery run."

Ran kind of slow the first half. I think it I'm still dragging from Insanity. Hopefully after a few more days I'll be getting used to it.

Not as cold this morning. Held a decent pace for the first 5 then lagged a bit until miles 9 and 10.

Same run as Tuesday. Ran kind of slow the first half and then picked it up a bit the last few miles. I got an email from the Boston Marathon today, it said the race is less than 70 days away -- yikes!

Decent morning run. Thermometer read 40. I felt colder than that. They've torn up Cloverdale and I almost killed myself running through the construction. Ok, not killed, but I went over a drop-off that I didn't see and almost went down. Then I stepped in some deep, soft mud getting back over to the sidewalk. 700+ miles and caked in mud. Time to break out a new pair of shoes.

I had things to do today, so I got up at my usual weekday time and went for my run. That isn't as fun as it sounds.

I did my 10-mile loop to Cole, but took Maple Grove up to McMillan to ad a few more miles.

Broke in a new pair of shoes today. Had a pair of Ghost 2s on the shelf. I'll probably alternate them with the Ghost 3s until the race.
