| AM: easy 4.1 mi. around county road loop PM: Mag 7 Race Series 5k at 2pm today. Hilly, but great weather - 55 deg. and overcast. Felt good today - tough course with downhill 1st mile, and I'm not in that great of shape right now to be honest. Splits: 5:45, 6:16, 6:23, 0:35 jogged a mile after the race, and then a mile later on the treadmill. Been walking about 20-30 minutes a day additionally, and protein shakes after runs to keep soreness at bay (and hopefully strengthen these weak legs at some point)

PM - Strength training/circuits: 1 mi. jog WU, 4 X mountain climbers, 0.5 mi. @ 9mph (MP), 4 X legs/core (pushups, crunches...), 0.5 mi. - 9.2 mph (HMP), 4 X higher intensity legs/core (burpees, pike press...), 0.5 mi. - 9.5 mph (15k/10mi. pace), 4 X legs/core (pushups, crunches...), 0.5 mi. - 10 mph (8k/10k pace). 0.5 mi. CD High intensity/low mileage day - going to start doing this 2-3 times a week throughout the winter for some strength building. I really want to be able to jack up the mileage this spring without getting as beat up as I did this fall... I'm really digging the Kenyan workouts Jake found and posted for everybody :) Can't wait to see what 2 X the hilly 15k group run course feels like tomorrow :)

| Super slow 2.75 on the treadmill in the new shoes. Brooks Glycerin 10 - Kentucky Blue and White. "Softer" than the Ravennas, with that already broken in feel, they are going to see some action tomorrow when "Hustle" a half up in Indy. Watch out Rudolph, tomorrow, I'm gonna "beat" Santa.
