Ran 5 miles outside before work today with Ralphie.  Ran a steady 7:38 pace over the distance with the last 3/4 mile progressively faster. It was nice to run outside on clear roads/sidewalks but it's suppose to snow upwards of 10 inches tonight so blech

 I've been super lazy this week and slacked off Tuesday and Wednesday.   I gotta run another 3-4 easy tonight to get back on track.

 

In the evening ran easy 3 miles to get back on track @ 8:26 pace.

It was snowing but warm so I ran outside before work.  Did 4 miles @ 8:02 average.  It was kinda sloppy and slick but Ralphie was loving the snow.  

 

The inside of my right ankle is sore and there is a knot in the muscle about 1/2 up my shin.  Not sure, maybe I pulled it or something.  Oh well

Completely committed to the trail race and bought a pair of trail runners and a waist hydration pack.  EMS was running a clearance on shoes and got a pair of Brooks Cascadia 5.  They felt nice and are on the border of stability/neutral compared to a more stability 2010s I usually run in.  Also picked up the GoLite Hydrosprint pack.  Feels good!

 

Ran 3 easy miles on the treadmill to check them out.  Felt good and comfy but I could feel the lessened stability in my ankles and calves.
