Total Distance

27.10

8 miles in the morning.

19.10 miles in the afternoon and evening.

I did the 8 miles this morning a little slower than usual. I have a good workout planned for the afternoon with a 5 mile tempo run (5:20/mile) included in it so I wanted to be safe and save some energy for later.

I ran with the distance runners this afternoon in wind and a little bit of snow. I had them do a 20 minute mini-tempo run with a 10 minute warmup and cooldown. They were troopers and did a great job. We finished up just under 6 miles. I stretched with them inside and then went back out to do my tempo run. The only problem was the snow was thicker on the road and the wind was blowing a little more. I started out and was going to see if I could do it but the roads were way to slick. I tried pushing it when the roads were clear and be careful when it was slick. I ended up doing just over 8 miles. I know cars were thinking I was crazy being out it that kind of weather. I averaged 6:42/mile overall which included running with the team.

I thought about calling it a day but got back home and hopped on the treadmill to do my tempo run. I was mad at the snow but decided it wasn't going to deter me from finishing my tempo work. I did 5 miles at 5:19/mile overall and then called it a day. I know we need the snow for water in the spring but it is no fun to be in it. Legs suprisingly felt fine tonight.

Nice runs Logan. I'll I can say is your speed and consistency of turning out these fast runs everyday is awesome.

I'm curious about what your diet is? What foods you eat and calorie intake to keep you going while coaching and training.

I try and eat a balanced diet with limited sugars and sweets. I only get these on Sunday nights and family functions. I try to drink a lot of water and other fluids (i.e. Gatorade, orange juice). I don't eat any fast food or drink any carbonation. I eat a lot of rice, spaghetti, and tortillas with peanut butter. I take a multivitamin and Vitamin E pill as well. I am trying to get to bed by 9:00 every night as well. I don't count my calories because I probably should be eating more with how much I run.

Hey now Logan, no complaining about the snow, its true we need the water, but almost as important we need the fun in the snow, ie. skiing!! It does make for lousy running conditions though, you are an animal keeping it going outside, i think i have done one outside run in the last month, other than Hawaii!
