Philippians 4:13

9M on the TM at home early this morning watching "Eraser" on TV.  Was going to go outside but again it was somewhat windy with a fresh dusting of snow over the icy surfaces, so I didn't want to risk it (plus I was not motivated for the cold).  I may try to go outside after church and before heading to the neighbors for the Super Bowl. 

total time: 59:35  (Trigon - 303 miles)

4.1M outside in the late morning.  32 degrees, no wind but snowy and slick on the pathway with about 2 inches of fresh snow over the slick base of ice and snow.  Just easy to get some more mileage in, to get outside for fresh air and to work up an appetite for tonight at the neighbors.

total time: 31:51  (Fireblades - 76 miles)

7M on the TM at the gym this morning.  2M easy, then fartleks the rest of the way with a base pace of 6:05, pickups between 5:00-5:45 pace.  Overall an ok run.  Had a bit of a hip twing about 0.5M into the run, but it went away quickly.   Got home and had to shovel about 2-3 inches of snow off the driveway.

What a game last night...how Eli got out of that sack and then for Tyree to make such a fantastic catch.  The Giants put the hurt on the Patriots.

total time: 43:30 (Saucony Trigon - 310 miles)

6.1M at lunchtime around the greenbelt.  The city had plowed the pathway which was really nice, but is was still snowcovered and a bit slick at the temperature is warming up (32 degrees) with a pretty good wind from the south.  But, it was gloriously sunny and bright!  Good easy paced run.

total time:  43:47 (Saucony T2 - 305 miles)

8M on the TM at the gym doing my now standard morning run there...a couple of easy miles, followed by MP base miles (6:10ish pace) with some 5:00 to 5:45 pickups of varying length (.25M - 0.75M).  Overall a good run.  Windy and cold outside and am getting too tired of the cold to want to try and wake up in wind 10 degree weather.  I will try to get outside at lunch.

total time: 48:35  (Trigon - 318 miles)

5.3M at lunch time around the river pathway with Dan S at the start.  It was pretty slick out, so I wore my Ice Joggers at they worked pretty good.  Nice easy pace on a cold gray day, but it was nice to get fresh air.

total time: 39:09 (Saucony T2 - 310 miles)

8.5M at the gym this morning following my standard morning run format mostly.  1.5M slow (6:30), then 1.25M at 5:45, ~2M at  6:15 base pace with 5:27-5:42 pickups, mile 6 at 5:35 pace, mile 7 at 5:50 pace, then 1.5M at a 6:15 base pace with 0.25M pickup at 5:00, and some 5:30 pickups (0.5M). 

Overall a good morning run that had to be done inside as when I got up we had 4 inches of new snow on the ground and it was 9 degrees.  By the time I got home, antoher 2 inches had fallen when I started to shovel the drive.  My wife took off to hit the gym and came back less than 5 minutes later after watching several cars do 360's on the roads!  So she is doing the shoveling (and continuing to try and keep up with the snow) to augment her workouts today.   Supposed to head the site today...no way!  To top it off, another storm is supposed to roll in tonight and tomorrow and drop several more inches of snow!

total time: 50:50  (Trigons - 327 miles)

6.3M around the river at lunchtime with Dan S.  Slow run with some of the run through deeper snow (even though the pathway was plowed) including some "bounding" over snow piles.  Timed the run perfectly, the snow had stopped, beautiful sunny sky with just a light breeze until the end when the wind started to kick up.  After showering and changing, walked back to the truck and the sky was cloudy and it was windy and cold.

total time:  52:15  (Saucony T2 - 316 miles)

Standard 8M run on the gym TM again this morning...following same pattern as the rest of the week for an avg. pace of 5:59 for the run.  My lower back is a little stiff this morning, but it feels better when I am running than when I am just sitting around.  I will stretch a lot during the day today.

total time:  47:50  (Trigon - 335 miles)

4M easy on the TM at the gym on my lunch break as it is blizzard outside with 30 mph winds!  Kind of a crappy run as my intestines really started acting up at about 2M and they haven't settled down yet. 

total time: 26:00  (Saucony T3 - 426 miles)

7M on the TM at the gym in standard format (easy miles, 6:15 base with pickups for remainder).  Right hip a bit twingy at start but went away immediately and I felt better as I ran.  Overall a decent TM run (again, dang crappy weather). 

total time: 42:50  (Trigon - 342 miles)

Very crappy 5M around the river at lunch today.  Clear, sunny day with 30mph winds out of the west so I always buffetted by them (and blowing snow a lot of the time).  Worse than that, my gut started acting up again about 2.5M in and I barely made it back to the office/locker room in time.  Man my insides have been in turmoil the last couple of days.

total time:  37:14  (Saucony T2 - 321 miles)

15M at the gym this morning as the wind outside was still whipping around at about 25 mph and I just didn't want to deal with that and the slick roads/paths.  Overall a really good run at an avg. 6:10 pace.  Easy couple of miles, then mostly MP pace with some pickups at 5:45 - 5:00 thrown in.  Got the mileage in and feel really good afterwards (lower back was a bit still but after some stretching and ibuprofen it feels great).  Mileage high for me!

total time:  1:32:30  (Trigon - 357 miles)
