7.25 today in freezing fog and high winds. Definitely didnt feel that great running it either. I was going to go 8, but ended it just a tad early. Either way, I'm still happy I gutted it out as far as I could in these conditions. Speed work tomorrow and my first 5k of the season this saturday. Im pumped! shooting for around 17:30.

Horrible weather today. Everything was coated in ice from freezing rain this morning. During my run this afternoon it was 15 degrees, with 40 mph winds and sleet and snow, windchills at or below 0. I had to get out in it and do speedwork though. 13x400 at 1:16-1:20--total time of 17:00 for 3.25 miles translates to 5:14's, overall a good workout in such bad weather. 6 miles total.

7 today in freezing cold wind chills and high winds, not a fun run, but it was good to get the mileage in. Now for a "mini-taper" before my 5k this weekend.

Nice easy paced 5 today (7:11's). Felt really good, although it was pretty cold, wind chill down near 0. Overall though, a nice good 5. Nice to get a small cutback in mileage today and tomorrow before the 5k saturday.

Easy pre-race-day 2 miles today. Typical routine, just get out and make sure the legs are fresh for tomorrow and that I've got all the kinks worked out from the week.

Today was a fiasco. The race started well, but my legs were burning cuz of the cold weather. However, about half a mile in I was settling into a good groove and really though I could hold on to 2nd place the whole race. However, the lead pack i was with got lost as the course was terribly marked. We ended up running ABOUT 2.5 miles, not for sure on that. My official race time was 13:55 but like i said that was about 2.5 miles. After we had to stop and turn around and find different ways back to the finish, I was demoralized and dropped a few places back to 4th where i ended up--totally took me out of my rythym. The organizers were friendly and nice people, so im not mad, just wish I could have got a legit 5k time to see where I stand as far as training goes. O well, at least the racing season is off and going!
