Let's do this!

8 outside. finding a quicker footfall thanks to fast tunes. 5 pick ups intermingled in there. avg pace:7:20

Elliptical hellishness afterwards at Golds for 35 minutes.

Strength trained at for about 20 minutes. I really don't like hanging with the meat heads so much. 

Then 40 minutes of elliptical, where I had to pep talk myself into running in the cold outside. It took a lot of will power to walk past the treadys today and drive home to run on the trail. It just felt so cold. But I am glad I did, it turned out to be a really good feeling run. Cold but I got out at 6:15 to 7:15 and so I saw sunrise and it was light enough to ditch the ugly headlamp. Hate that thing! Yesterday it left an ugly red line across my forehead. Anyway, 7.25 miles on the trail and gallivanting in my hood'.

8 miles in the wind! I have a philosophy that running into the wind makes one a stronger runner. I also had a philosophy that If I eat a bag of mini robin eggs it doesn't matter if it is snowing outside, it will be spring in my heart. Spring in my heart brings thunder to my thighs... No more philosophizing until summer! I also notice that my font is changing as I go on. What is happpening here?!?!  

20 minutes of Strength training. 

40 minutes of elliptical. Really hard effort that wore me out before I ran.

Came home and ran 6.5 outside, up the Center Street hill and back down. So hard. I know I didn't run my usual 7-8 miles today, but the efforts were hard enough that I felt like I did 10 miles.  

 I'm sitting here eating breakfast and trying to type. I keep dropping my precious scrambled eggs into my lap. Where's my coordination? Speaking of food. What kind of diet does everyone eat? Leave a comment and tell me how/what you truly eat everyday. I am curious about other runners diets.

Shin splints. So I am forced to take time off. 

1 hr 17 minutes elliptical. I hope my leg feels better soon. 

1 hr 30 minutes of elliptical. It is a long time to be on that machine. But with my shin and calf hurting, it's just something I need to do :(
