Noon run, sunny, temp. 45'

Purchased some new saucony grid speed shoes for $35 and they made me go fast.  I couldn't help it.  But now my bumitis is going to pay for it for a day or two.  Did the last 0.6 miles in 5:55 avg. and it about killed me off.  I haven't done any speed workout for a few weeks and my head kept telling me to slow down. 

Time 57:52,  Mile avg. - 6:44

Very nice day for a run.  Tried a new pair of running shoes (Avia 5792).  They only cost $27 on sale.  They were ok, but my left toe got feeling a little warm but no blisters.  I liked my other new pair of saucony's I wore for the first time yesterday a little better.

Bumitis a little worse off because of yesterdays run but very slowly improving. 

To bad all my lunch runs couldn't be between 45-50' and sunny.

I didn't sprinkle anything into my run, but the sun sprinkled on me.  Hammy still not back to normal.  Hope I can run Saturday without reinjuring it.

Disappointed to wake up to 5 inches of fresh snow.  Luckily up by hogle zoo there was only an inch or two of snow on the roads. 

I met up with my good friend Tom and we ran about a 3 mile warmup.  On part of the warmup we were on the first half mile of the course.  It seemed slick and slushy and not a great day to race.

The gun went off and the race was on.  The first mile was probably the worst for snow & slush. The second mile I was able to find mostly just wet roads but the last mile had some more slushy parts.  Making the corner onto the track I had to slow down to a walk.

It's always fun to run on an aided course with over 300 feet of vertical drop and see that you're doing sub 6 miles.  It also helps to know Tom is behind me and that I want to put as much distance on him so I can show him who's boss.

Miles  5:52,  5:43,  5:36,  .33  Total time 17:44    

Came in 1st in age division and 2nd in the masters division.
