Super tired today and felt like crap most of the day.  I blame it on eating a huge amount of junk food at a party last night.  Bleh.  Got the run done though, but that's about it.  Also, can someone pass the memo on to Mizuno that the big gap in the middle of the heel is horrible for running in snow?  I always wondered what it would be like to wear high heels.  Now I know...

Easy 12 mile run.  Hyde Park loop variation.  I am getting sick of running on the roads and using the same routes.  I can't wait until the snow melts so I can use the trails again.  Decent run though.  Still really tired today for some reason...like sleepy tired.  I've been getting plenty of sleep, but I just want to sleep more and nothing else.  I'm sure it will pass.

Super easy run.  Lower legs and feet are starting to feel the mileage a bit.  I'm going to see what I can do about an ice bath in the next day or two.  Should be alright if I can do that.

Great afternoon for running.  I almost got uncomfortably warm.  Started out pretty easy, but got feeling great towards the last 4-5 miles and pushed it a bit.  Felt great so I went with it.

Scott emailed me last night about a "Freeze Your Buns" 5K here in Logan, and it was only $10 so I thought what the heck.  Got up early (for a Saturday) at 7 ate a banana and got all my warm clothes together and stuff.  Weather applet on my desktop said it was 8 degrees.  I guess it just means that Scott and I were more manly today than Jon, Cody, and Paul.  ;) haha.  Scott graciously gave me a lift down to the start at Logan High, since my car won't start.  Got signed up and got my free beanie (I figure a race, beanie, and food was a bargain).  Jogged the course with Scott.  Nice and flat except for a small uphill near the end of the loop.  According to Scott's GPS the course was pretty accurate.  Not very much competition, which is understandable given the cold and the low key nature of the race.  Start was very abrupt.  Took off and was in the lead right from "Go!"  No one really challenged me in this race, so I just kind of set a good pace but tried not to kill myself, as Scott and I were planning another 8 miles directly after the race.  Legs were pretty tired as expected due to the mileage this week, but it wasn't too bad.  Very cold air.  Kind of hurt my lungs, but not as much as I thought it would.  The cold was probably worth a good 30 seconds at least on my time though, plus I have done zero speed training in recent history.  Finished about a minute ahead of second place--a high schooler who just barely outkicked Scott.  FRB went 1 and 3.  Scott beat his longtime nemesis as well, so it was a good race for him I think.  After the race we went inside and stretched out a bit and I got some Gatorade and a half slice of bread.  Didn't really stick around for the awards, since it was just ribbons.  Took off on a run from the school down to Planet Walk and out by ICON and 10th West.  Doubled back for 7.9 miles for the run.  14.1 for the day.  Race time was okay.  Satisfactory for that temperature, the fact that I haven't done speed work in forever, the short notice and consequently worn out legs (although I probably wouldn't have rested for it anyway at this point).  Always nice to get the win though.
