AM - 10.3 miles up to work. Another fartlek workout... warmed up ~20 minutes, then did 10 x 1 minute (1 minute float recovery)... ran about a mile easy, then did another set of 5 x 1 minute. By that point the roads were starting to get slippery so I figured that was good enough for this morning. The first set was on flat roads, second set was uphill. The goal is to make suffering on uphills such a regular occurrence that I don't notice the Newton Hills in Boston. 

PM - 15 miles home. Only had to work a 1/2 day so I was out of there at noon - right when the snowstorm was hitting pretty hard. First 7 miles were character-building, then the sun came out and it was a beautiful afternoon. The highlight of the run was watching the kids kamikaze down the sledding hill (which had a dusting of snow over grass) at Sugar House.

Nice job Jake!

Way to suffer Jake. Is it snowing?

From Jake K on Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 11:23:49 from 155.100.226.54

Yep, finally snowing. Pretty much knew the weather patterns would completely shift once I decided to run Boston!

So it's your fault. I'm glad I'm in California, but now I'm going to hear from my wife how she has to shovel the snow while I'm "vacationing"

Seesh, I want to stay active forever!! Thanks for sharing that motivating link.

I thought that was you flying down the hill at Sugar House (while I was going up). Nice call on Abdi (we blogged about him in December). It was cool seeing him train then execute!

Yep 99.9% chance that was me on the SHP loop... I was in all bright orange

You would not be able to handle the "rest and recovery" part of becoming a full-time athlete...good thing you have a job to make you be sedentary and keep you from running all day!
