Run for your life!

Ran 6 miles in the morning on the TM at 8:13 avg pace. Ran 4 at lunch on the TM at 8:30 avg. Went to an abs class for 1/2 hour at night and then a spin class. Long day!

Ran 6 miles this morning on TM. Avg pace 8:13. Feeling sluggish with a lingering cold and probably not enough sleep.

Ran 4 more miles a 10 min pace during lunch.

Going to bed early tonight!

Easy 5 miles at 10min pace while I read the Great Zamperini article in RW. Then ran 6 more miles averaging 8:13 with the last two miles faster. It was a good morning run. I did get to bed earlier and that was wonderful. Some sort of head cold is lingering though and making me work a little harder for the miles.

Had a good run today with a mix of hills and tempo work. First four miles at 8:34 included 3 quarter mile hills at 4 grade (climbing 50 feet each time) and 1 half mile climb of 100 feet. Then I ran miles 5-7 at 7:30, 7:30 and 6:57. Felt good at the end. Hopefully I'm on the tail end of my cold. Man it's freezing and yucky outside. Looking forward to March and April.

Ran 5 more easy miles at lunchtime at 8:57.

Run spin run. Ran 1.5 easy. Spin for 50 minutes. Ran 1.5 easy and 1 at 7:30.

Ran 10 miles on the snow covered East Wilderness trail with running friends Troy and Terry. Good workout with climbs, descents, and core work trying to remain stable on the icy surface or collapsing snow. Ran 3 more miles on the pavement with 2 at 8:30 and one at 7:30 to finish off the week with 60 total running miles plus two spin classes. Nice start to the new year.
