Today was a challenge. A lot colder than the temp (21 degrees). The wind was brutal out of the south and right in my face on the first 2 miles and the last 1.5, so i battled it a lot (wind chill of 6). Most of the run was on broken up, but still solid ice, which was a really hard surface to run on and my legs took a beating. Really tore them up, it was like running on uneven bricks. So not a fun run, but got it done, ran the last 4 miles a lot faster than the first two which were a struggle.

Today was a great tempo run. I did 5 miles in 31:00. Felt fluid and good despite 25 mph winds in my face at times, so i could have ran faster. This 6:12 pace is very close to my HMGP of 6:07, which would put me under 1:20. Overall a great day for a workout and a great result. Felt smooth.

Beautiful day for 7 miles at 7:06 pace. Felt very good and went a little faster than i should have. 55 degrees will do that to ya. A little windy on the way back and very very muddy, legs and clothes were covered in mud afterwards. all in all, a good workout and i felt very good. You could smell spring in the air.

What to say about today's fiasco. Started off was gonna do 3xmile at 5:30-5:45. Hit the first one in 5:45, but i was struggling big time. Legs were just tired, probably from the short turnaround from last nights run, i hate the wed afternoon then early thursday morning runs because they are so close together, i may start moving my recovery up to today and speed on fridays. Anyways at the 3/4 mile mark of the 2nd mile repeat, i stepped on something, rock, branch, something, and rolled my ankle. Stopped immediately cuz of the pain, so this set became a 1200 in 4:35. Now i would be concerned about this ankle, but i messed it up in hs and i roll it quite often, so i just took an extended rep break and sure enough, it came back to me. Ran the last mile in 5:50, but was struggling still. So, not a great day, but it'll be beneficial in the long run to be able to run on tired legs. Side note- ankle will be sore in the morning, its going to be beautiful today, high 60s! wish i could have run this afternoon in that weather.

absolutely gorgeous weather this morning. Near 50 and no wind, just perfect race day weather--to bad i had no race! Recovery day so a very slow, easy 3 miles today (22:35). Felt good to slow it down and just enjoy the beautiful Iowa morning. Thats what running is all about.

Had a long run of 10 miles today. Felt very good! Finally felt good on a long run, i think the tights had been bothering me cuz without them today i felt great. Ran the 10 in 1:11:15, so 7:08 m/m pace. A great workout to close a great week. Definitely a good stepping stone to where i need to get.
