run, run, run

Goshen, IN midnight

5.12 miles Pace: 7:25

I don't run on Sunday because I don't want God to be mad at me, so I waited until midnight and put in 5 miles on the back roads behind the hotel. I was starting to get tired, but I couldn't bear the thought of waking up at 5am (which is 3am at home), so I did a nighttime run. Turned out to be pretty solid. Held a decent pace. Partly because I'm afraid of the dark.

6:45pm Pace: 7:39

Got out a little later than I had hoped because I had to call the rental car company about a rock that hit the windshield when I was driving back from work. Ran through town, wanted to hold a sub 7:30 pace, but didn't.

Just lucky to have run at all this morning. I didn't sleep last night. By the time the alarm went off, I had slept maybe 2 hours. But at that point I figured there wasn't much difference between 2 and 3 hours of sleep. Either way it was going to be a rough day. So I ran anyway.

7:30pm

4 miles Pace 7:49

Stayed at work too long. It rained all day, but started snowing on the drive back. So I ran 4 miles in the snow. It was a really heavy snow, so the traction was fine, but the big flakes kept getting in my eye. I only stepped in one puddle, but it was in the first 100 yards of the run.

5.24 miles Pace: 8:30

Still snowing this morning, but not much accumulation because it was about 33 degrees. Too many trucks driving by and I had to stop for trains twice. There was one SUV in the ditch. I'm glad I didn't end up in the ditch.

5:45pm

6.8 miles Pace: 7:57

Got off work at a decent hour and took off for another run. Went down to the river trail. It was actually plowed, which surprised me. I'm feeling stronger. My pace isn't too bad considering the weather I've been running in this week.

Goshen, IN 6:30am

3 miles Pace: 8:32

I almost didn't run this morning. Feeling tired, reset the alarm but didn't go back to sleep right away. The company is having layoffs today, so who knows what the evening will bring. I didn't have as much time, so I did a little three mile course. The main road I ran on wasn't good. Too much snow and a narrow shoulder.

Well, I still have a job. Wish I could say the same for some of my former co-workers. Had to run off some of the stress. Went out on the country roads. Running by the Amish buggies on their way home from Walmart. One more run tomorrow and I go home.

Heading into March like a lamb. Hopefully I'll be a lion by the time April rolls around. Was really tired today. Didn't eat much last night. I haven't weighed myself in two weeks. I've been eating like a bird, so I better have lost a few lbs.

Tried out the new Garmin 310. Pretty cool.
