Personal: No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

| | Today's run was great. There was about 5" of fresh snow on the ground so it was a little like running on the beach, only cooler. | | Comments(3) |
| | No fresh snow today, just compact snow and ice. Slippery, but I finished my run with an 8:16 pace. | | Add Comment |

6" more snow last night and a nice layer of ice on top from the freezing rain that followed. Never thought I would describe a run as crunchy. Great scenery along Sunnyside Beach, everything was white all the way to the edge of the water. Chambers Bay Dr. hill was literally two steps forward and one step back. The people shoveling their driveways looked at me like I was crazy as I ran by.

No miles today. I had to work and there's no daylight between my start and finish time. I don't mind running in the snow or in the dark, but both at the same time couldn't amount to much except injury :)
I'll be resting tomorrow too, then I have 5 days off of work to catch up. | | Add Comment |

We had some rain today so about 80% of my run was on sandy pavement with good traction, the rest was a little slushy an not much fun. Tomorrow should be better, I might run the The Giant Killer.

I got my run in today, but it was very icy and I was a bit tired after my extra mileage yesterday. My pace was a little slow but I feel great! No soreness anywhere, just a good tired :)

Still a lot of compact snow and ice on Chambers Bay Ct.
Mile 4 was over 9 minutes even with the downgrade for the second half.

I'm moving pretty slow again today. I didn't sleep well last night and I didn't feel like running at all this morning, but I did it anyway. There's still a lot of ice on mile 4 at Chambers Bay Ct.

I had to talk myself into running again this morning. My back is still hurting from something I did while hauling out all the Christmas trash. The pain gets better after a mile or so but it's tough to get started. Mile 4 was much faster now that the ice has melted, but my overall pace wasn't much better than yesterday. I'm thinking about running again tomorrow morning (day 6) and then taking Tuesday and Wednesday off before the New Year's Day 5k.

I woke up without the alarm in time to run this morning. I'm feeling pretty good about sleeping in tomorrow.

| | Exciting run today! I woke up again without the alarm and I set out to run very slow and take it easy since I have a race on Thursday. The first mile was really cold so I had to speed up a little bit to keep warm. On mile two I got so close to a deer that I could have touched it. I wish I could sneak up on them like that during hunting season. It was a little colder down by the water and there were some patches of black ice to keep me on my toes in miles three through five. On mile six I saw a roll-over accident on the s curves coming up Steilacoom Blvd. Thankfully nobody was hurt and I helped the three soldiers put their PTCruiser back on it's feet just before the police arrived.
I'm sleeping in for real tomorrow :)Â
