Doug's Running Thingy

Went to the school and did the Ravine Trail plus North Loop for warm up... didn't work too well on the warming up front.  Legs never really felt loose, so when I got back to the track I just ran 4X200 controlled at 34-36 with 100 meter jog between. Wanted to run more and faster today, but chose to not push it with cold legs - chilly and wind was blowing and just never really got warmed up.  Did 2 laps cool down for right at 4.25 miles total.

Sunny and 45 degrees at lunchtime, so squeezed in a 4-miler before wolfing a ham sandwich and tomato soup - nearly warmed me up enough to not mind heading back to work.  Upon arrival back at the office, the bossman is gone for the day and the Christmas music is blaring - that'll work.

AM core and dumbbell workout.  Lunchtime plyometrics in front of the fire.  Slight warming trend for next few days, so should be able to get out for some runs.  I so admire you folks who can throw on thermal socks and gloves and hats and tights and under armor this and under armor that and go out for a run when its sub freezing.  If it goes under 50 degrees for me, I don't even think about reaching for my running shoes.

Four miler with the middle 2 miles going 1 minute on and 1 minute off at a bit better than 5K pace.  No time to tack on a few striders, so will try to do that tonight.

Dumbbell resistance workout in the morning, and squeezed in 4 miles around the neighborhood at lunch in light chilly rain.
