Today I ran a chairty 5K for Colo-Rectal cancer with my roomate, whose family has had a loved one pass away from colo cancer. I wanted to help her get a PR and to get a empo run in. It was cold and the race management was all over the place but I had a great time enjoying the first race environment I've been in since last summer.  I warmed up, race delayed, warmed up again, then the race started, then I did a cool down.

WU: 3.xxx, 5K tempo in 19:01, 2 mile CD.

AM: 1 hr. pool run

PM: 7 miles easy. Standard Ab routine + ab bench, reverse ab bench for my back.Some achilles PT, some leg press. Stretching.

Felt good to actually be able to make it to the pool again. I don't think I'll be having those 12 hour work days like last week. I did enough work over the weekend to make it so I won'thave to go in early.

Turns out it was my late night to work. I wish I would ahve known before I went inearly this morning. Anyway, after an 11 hour day it was snowing and windy..ridiculous conditions for this area this time of year.  For instance, it was 71 and sunny when I was grilling burgers this weekend. Today there is snow on the ground. Anyway I was a lonely runner on Haine's point but this nilotic looking dudecame past me. he had to be going 6:20s.  Real skinnyfast guy. There's always a bigger fish.  Standard ab routine + some PT

really windy and really cold today. I actually had to wear tights. My legs felt really heavy for some reason. Probably the late night and lifting yesterday. Standard core routine + some ab bench, reverse ab bench, light leg press, lighthip ab/adductor machine, some calf raises.

8 easy after work with standard core routine.  My legs felt weird today. Sort of weak and tired. I think it is due to too much lifting.  I skipped any leg lifts today and wo't do anything leg lifting wise for the next few days.

11 miles. Humid, raining and 60 when I started. The rain picked up and I realized I had forgotte to put bandaids on.  Moments later my shirtwas soaked and my nipples were bleeeding. Went shirtless the rest of the way. Had a little girl say "Mommy why is that man naked? Isn't he cold?" as I passed. I guess this counts as the first shirtless run of the season.  My nipples still hurt.
