For those of you who didn't get up at 5:45am and run on the dark streets of Logan, you won't know what I am talking about, and you definitly didn't miss out. It had rained, snowed, and frozen last night, and every inch of roads and sidewalks were covered with black-ice. It such a joke trying to run, and probably not worth my time. I needed my hockey skates on, not my running shoes!

I went down Boulevard, into the island, through River Heights, and looped around Providence. I came back the exact way I went out, because I didn't dare run up any kind of hills. I spent more energy trying to not slip and fall than I actually did running. I wish I could have run later on in the day because it ended up nice. Slow time: 1:03:52

I lifted my upper body at the HPER tonight for an hour.

Good work. For the next three weeks, I would recommend doing those types of runs - minimum of 8 miles, get out 6 times a week, does not matter how slow, just be out there and run comfortably.

I think that would be a good recommendation if I was ready or able to do that right now. I am just getting started and I am not ready for 50 mile weeks yet. I have been bumping up my mileage 5 miles per week. I am going to run 35 this week and 40 next. In a couple of weeks I will be up around 50 and will start doing more tempo and speed. So far this schedule is working out me, so I will stick with it. Also, with my school and work I have a hard time running on tuesdays, and if I do end up with some time it will be very short.

Thanks for the feedback.
