Pool Running is Fun

AM: 19.5 miles moderate pace

PM: 1hr. Pool run

Attempted pick-ups with Jenn but then I ran ahead on a down mile and turned around to find Jenn but she was gone. She didn't stop to go to the bathroom and I was worried something happened. Then I ran back to Fletcher's. Looks like her pick-ups route and my group's pick-up route is different

AM: 10 miles + 5 x20sec strides + 8 burpees 

Christmas run. It's like a ghost town out there. No one is around. Very windy 

Off. In a car all day traveling to Ohio. Ate like shit sadly 

2.5 WU 2 x 10 min, 6 min, 3 min, 1 min

Well it was -6 degrees this morning so I went and bout a day pass at Northwest. Wanted to do 3 x 10 cruise intervals but the damn treadmill shut off at 6:00 on the third rep and I was pretty damn tired anyway so I increased the pace and ran fast for the 3 and the 1. I did 2:00-2:20 recovery between each rep. The first 10 was about 5:30, the second about 5:25, the 3 and the 1 at 5:10 and 5:00. All with a 0.5 incline to adjust for no wind resistance.

AM: 12 miles in the freezing cold

-4 at the start. I think it went up to 3 above by the end. Legs never did feel right and the foam on my shoes was stiff. If it wasn’t for the warm micro climate of the face mask this would have been down right painful.

Off. Sadly. Traveled all day back to Virginia. Feel like shit due to Christmas garbage i are all day yesterday. I really need some self control in the new year

Noon: 8 miles + standard core routine

PM: 

Have the new year's race tomorrow but I'm heavy from Christmas garbage and my running has been all over the place. But it will be 13 degrees and windy so I read an not to worried about it.
