Steady mill run. Leg held up better than usual so was able to progress slowly to 7.5 mph by the end. Pleased with that.

Progressive. Made it all the way from 6.3 to 7.9 every 2 min without my leg seizing up. Pleased with that.

Had a good 8 x 1:00 hard, 1:00 recovery workout. Got up to 8.6 mph and recovered at 6.8, so all a bit faster than it's been. Felt pretty good running fast for the most part. Was hard but not overwhelming. Progress.

Crossfit with Michelle. Hard workout! .5k of rowing but otherwise more cals -- lateral jump squats, pushups, kettlebell swings, jump rope.

With S from the Y. Cold! Would have preferred a bit longer on a normal day but happy not to face the headwind for any longer than we did.

Part of Realfit. Ran 6:00 for a warmup, then did 30 minute challenge -- jumping jacks, push-ups, plank, squat presses, backward lunges and 5 minutes of running. Managed a bunch of the other stuff than was able to get to .72 miles in 5 minutes. I had to ramp up, couldn't just start out cranking, but I got to 6:40 pace by the end.

Realfit, light lifting then HR run. Ran 1.32 miles in 10 minutes, finishing at 6:40 pace, then warm down.

Kind of a slog. Still did a progressive to 7.9 mph then warmed down about a half mile. Forgot my bandaid for the shoes and got a bit of abrasion at the end, but not before, so progress.

Wanted to get out for a run but moving too slow in the morning. Treadclimb instead. 35 minutes.

Started slow and was very gradually building speed to get to 5-6 miles. Leg was still feeling ok at 25 minutes but stomach was getting very restless. Glad I bailed off the mill when I did at 3.5--that could have been unforutunate. Sigh. If things are back to normal will try to go longer again on Wednesday.

Literally back and forth on Robinson Parkway to avoid the ice everywhere else. Not an easy few days for outdoor running in VT!

Another slog run. Leg hurt a lot :-/ Maybe the drives Saturday and yesterday exacerbated it?

Weight circuit x 2 and a run that turned into a decent short progressive on the mill.
