Corral's Trail to Hull's Gulch - 1:17
Nice easy trail run with Conrad on a sunny, warm December day. Shuttled cars, so it was a net downhill, but still got some nice climbs in along with some steep descents. Trails in excellent condition (no mud, no dust) so it was a treat. Only down point was a sore achilles the last 20 minutes.

Canal Banks + Phillippi Hills -34:28
Ran steady on the canals, and then did 10 x 15 second hills up Phillippi, then a steady run back home through the neighborhoods. Achilles still a bit sore. Maybe I'll have some time Thursday or Friday to get some new shoes.

Canal Banks + neighborhoods - 39:34
Got home from class late and didn't start the run until 9:30 or 10 p.m. Wore my new Adidas Supernova Stables I got today. They feel pretty good, but my achilles was still sore. I jogged the first 14 minutes with Leo, then finished with 25 minutes solo. Hopefully I'll be up to doing some workouts later this week.

Cassia Park - 30:03
Brisk pace from South before heading to my last class of the semester. Yeah for me. Training hasn't been too great this week, but I'll pick it up hopefully tomorrow.

2 mile wo, 8 x 800 LT, 1 mile wd
At the BK track in the dark. Recovery was 200m jog in about 1:05. Times were 2:54,53,55,53,54,54,52,50. Didn't feel great and my motivation was low, but I kept it a true LT workout and didn't really get into oxygen debt until the last one, where I went out a little fast. Achilles tender again, which is getting old. At least I got a workout in.
I also noticed that my back/core is getting really weak and my posture was suffering on the last two. I really need to get back into the strengthening exercises - 15 to 20 minutes a day would help a lot.

Christmas Run Course - 1:14
Ran from South and intended to do the Christmas Run course, but I got kind of lost and ended up on some trails behind Camelsback. Fatigued and dehydrated, and still didn't get to do most of the course. Maybe tomorrow I'll head back there and go the right way. A good night's sleep should help me feel better and less lethargic.

A.M. - Neighborhoods - 12+
Ran with Leo before breakfast. He felt the need to run right in front of me when he saw another dog and made me eat it pretty hard. I landed on him too. He didn't seem fazed, but I got some road rash.
P.M. - Greenbelt - 1:10
Ran in a snowstorm this afternoon, although it let up a little as the run went on. Kept it steady for most of the run before scaling it back a bit the last 20 minutes. Still averaged about 7:00/mile, which was pretty good for the conditions.
Weights, core and stretching - 20 minutes at Gold's
53 mpw average during last 6 weeks. Not too bad.
