AM - 9.24/60 It took about 3 miles for me to warm up this morning then I started doing a progression run. Still feel like I have a lot of energy. I would've ran outside had I not checked the weather report last night that said snowy and icy roads this morning. When I walked outside to go to the gym I saw how nice it was but just ended up at the gym any ways.

PM - 8.09/60 Recovery run that turned into "keep your dang hands down" run. I honestly kept raising my hands pretty high for no reason. It was rather annoying.

AM - 3 Miles warm up 22:18 - Had a real hard time waking up wasn't sure how this was going to end up.

5x1600x600

5 Miles @ 5:30 after two I knew I was going to do more than the three the program called for so I did an extra two. On the fifth I was feeling it a touch and knew I got what I needed for the work out

5x600 floats @ 8:00 pace. Felt like I might of been able to keep these a little quicker but I just wanted to make sure I recovered enough to finish the repeats.

2.2 miles cool down. I actually got cold running this cool down.

Overall felt good, legs had plenty, energy was decent. 

PM - 8.09 I think these runs are just as important as the speed/tempo work. This was really hard to complete. Easy pace. 

10/1:04:50 Easy day so I did close to MP and then slowly moved into pace. Threw in the last half mile at 5:20 pace. Good workout on a drizzly afternoon.

AM - 2 mile warm up was feeling more alert than normal this morning which was a surprise. Ate a banana before I started and had a gel at mile 9.

12@6:18 MP Felt more or less ok for the entire run. HR was around 150 most of the time. At the end it started creeping up but I wasn't too concerned. Stomach was kind of knotting up and hurting, it was different than the "normal" cramps, still in knots a little. We'll see how it feels durning this afternoon's shakeout.

2 mile CD.

Good workout, I accomplished what I had wanted for this and will probably stay with this type of a tempo run for a few weeks before bumping it up any. 

PM - 7.87 OUTSIDE. didn't bring cold weather gear to work but went in shorts and my fleece I usually wear to and from gym, no gloves. It was so nice to do this outside. I loved running through the puddles and feeling the water splash against my calves.

7.3 - 7 mile progression in 44:16. Started out easy, just testing the legs. Felt pretty good so I started doing progressions with last .25 at 5K. Family is out of town so I'll probably run a shakeout tonight after work.

6 - Easy shake out run. 

Well finished off the week with a decent uphill run and pushing tempo/threshold miles on the down hill on the way back. Thanks to Jeff and Curt for helping me finish off my first ever 100 mile week. Legs still feel pretty good. I've had to force myself to eat this week but everything else has felt fine.
