I can see some fitness returning. I may be old, but it’s still there somewhere! 7:05 average

Bad weather conditions yesterday.  Really cold morning. I ran with Tee and Devra.  Misery loves company.

Just couldn't face the cold and dark this morning. Treadmill progression run with 1 minute pushes.

I'm ready to start stepping up my long runs.  I have been feeling good at 12-ish.  Ran with Tee and Devra. 1300 W to 10400 S and back on the River Trail.

Didn't feel that great this morning, but it got done.  I'm really cold now.

Missed Tuesday instead of Wednesday. I guess that's a change.  Run with Devra. It's slightly warmer outside.

Valley Park loop. Nothing else to say about it.

I'm tired.  But, it was nice to run in the daylight.

Nine with Devra. Then picked up Lily for four more.  Steady build.  
 

Cole ran a 4:35 mile last night and a 9:57 two mile last week.  He is getting fast!

Valentine's Day run. Practicing some self-love by getting out and pounding out the stress. Gorgeous full moon this morning.

45 degrees is much more pleasant than 20.  I took advantage of the warmer weather and a good night's sleep to run a little farther.  Tomorrow my goal is to break the no-run-Wednesday pattern that's been happening. Even if it's just a short run.

I broke the no run on Wednesday curse! It helped that I didn’t have a rehearsal last night. Not the most productive run. There were a lot of random icy spots, so I had to slow down. I can’t wait for winter to be over!

Ran indoors.  20 minute warm up. 10 x 2 minutes on/off.  Cooldown to 8.  I'm not very fast.  6:10-6:30 pace on the fast. Next month my goal is to throw a little more tempo/speed in.

Took a few miles to warm up this morning.  Got it done though.

Managed 13 before 7 AM.  And 52 for the week.  Now for four hours of choreography.  I'm going to be very tired.

Ran in the daylight for once. It was still really cold though.  3.5 with Lily.  Finished solo. Picked up last three. 6:45,6:32,6:13.  I'm not as pathetically slow as I thought.

Weather is horrible this week.  Might be a lot lighter training week.  Treadmill morning.

75 minute run on treadmill. 10 degrees is too cold for me. Fell off quite a bit this week, but I am still on target for my yearly goal.  Next 2 weeks will be rough.

Not a bad month. I had a rough week last week, but managed enough consistency to stay on track for my 2022 goal. Might do a little racing this summer. The next two weeks I have a crazy schedule. Running will be tough. But, after Mary Poppins opens, things will settle for a minute
