Just met Ann for lunch at Mimi's in Sandy. Now I'm a bloated pig which doesn't bode well for my workout this afternoon. Trying to work up the motivation to meet Jake on the track.

Had to fight some homework battles with my daughter this afternoon so I wasn't able to make it to the track until Jake was wrapping up his workout. I did manage to run 600 meters of his last 1000 with him and I'm still suffering from it.

Did some easy laps around the park with Jake and Adam after. Nice run. Legs still sore from Monday.

Hey Rob - The Highland track is clear of snow/ice on the south end, so I'm going to go there this afternoon. That should help w/ motivation, since you can jog over there from your house!

I'll be there. Might even wear my spikes!

From Jake K on Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 12:49:27 from 155.100.226.54

Spike up!

I'll try to get there around 5:15 and will probably just jog a loop around the park loop to warmup

Glad you were able to join for a bit tonight Rob. If I could get you to jump in for half of all my intervals, my life would be a lot easier!

I hope Abby had everything organized by the time you got home!
