Philippians 4:13

6 miles with Moxie this morning before church in 50 minutes. The pathway was super slick today so we had to go extra slow (it looked like sheet ice the whole way).  The day warmed up later but had too many things to do so I was glad we went out earlier.

7 miles on the TM at the gym this morning in 43:30 (6:13 avg).  1.5 miles easy paced, then 4.25 miles at MP (5:50 - 6:15).  Eased up a bit then hit a hard 400m interval at 4:55 pace then cruised into the finish.  Ended with some pullups and dips...going to start hitting some easy lifting and increased ab work after my runs while I am at the gym for runs.  (Launch)

I am skipping the lunch run today due to work meetings and a freezing rain outside which has put down about 1/8 inch of ice over all the surfaces...way too slick to try to run outside!

Headed to the gym this morning expecting the pathway to be iced over...when I got there I realized it was 36 degrees and a great morning for an outside run.  Decided since I was already there to go ahead and run on the TM so I ran 6 miles in 38:40, 4 miles at MP.  After I got home, I took Moxie out for a 2 mile run...in just shorts and a sweatshirt! 

No lunch run again today due to work meetings and icy/foggy conditions on the roads on the desert.  Maybe squeeze in a run after work today if possible...or just let it go!

The temp was right at that freezing area so the pathways looked slick due the melting yesterday...once again at the gym.  2 miles easy, then bumped it up to MP (6:22 - 6:03) progression through the run.  At 7.5M, I threw in a 400m at 4:26 pace.  Overall a good run, don't know if I will get another one in today due to work.  

4 miles after work with Moxie in 30 minutes.  Nice and easy down the Sunnyside pathway...mostly dry with some snowy and icy patches.  Ran while the kids were both away at activities.  Good to get a second run in today...and outside!  (Ride Black)

6 untimed miles outside on a relatively warm morning.  Just couldn't get up early and face the TM, so I slept in and went out around 4:45am, 4 miles with Moxie then 2 more solo miles.  Just easy as I was tired and just kinda lethargic this morning.  (Ride Black)

Got an entry into PF Chang Arizona RnR marathon, now just got to make sure I feel good enough to run and set up travel plans...the flights went up $$ since I checked last week!  What a racket the airlines have going there is no sense to their pricing!

6 miles at lunch in 45:30.  Just nice and easy, ran with Dan for 5 miles then added one more on the pathway around the park.  Good temps, good pathway condition.  Just a nice easy lunch run.  (Ride Red)

What a morning!  Had a very hard time getting out of bed for a run...tired and coming down with a cold.  Once I finally got out, decided to go to the gym as it looked slick and rainy outside.  Got to my truck to find the light on, luckily no dead battery!  Drove nearly the whole way to the gym to find the temp at 39 degrees, wet roads but no rain so I turned around to run outside with Moxie as the gym really wasn't that inviting of a thought.  I took Moxie and hit the pathway in good weather only to hit the 2.5 mile mark and it changed.  A Cold wind was driving a stinging rain that had us soaked through by the time we got home (even Moxie wanted to be done as she dragged me through the short cut home!).  After we got in, it changed to a slushy snowy mix outside so I will have to see if I am motivated for a lunch run or not.  (Ride Black)

It turned out to be a glorious day around lunch, so I did get out for a run...in shorts!  It was about 37 degrees with a light breeze but lots of sunshine.  Nice easy 7 mile run around the river and park in 51 minutes.  Legs is still there, not hurting just reminding me that I need to keep it in mind...a pain in my @$%, literally!  (Ride Red)

6am and out the door in the 25 degree weather with the whole gang...Andrea, McKay, Lynette, Curt and Deborah!  6 miles with everyone, then another 6 miles with Lynette and Curt and the last 6.1 miles solo.   18.1 miles total in 2:19.  My left hammy felt good the whole way with no issues.  Pushed the pace up a couple of times but kept it pretty consistent around 7:30 pace except for the 3 miles of warm up.  A really good run with no issues that gives me confidence for the RnR Arizona marathon!
