Long run on the loop I mapped out last week. Not too bad of a course, just running up Main for 27 blocks is a bit too boring. And my hands froze! It was 10 degrees out at the warmest part of my run, so sad. At least the snow is minimal. Mostly just relaxed and sang along to some excellent tunes. Good times. (K 322.8)

Braved the canal trail again so I could do the 60-minute loop. Wasn't too bad except for the super icy spots. Not a single fall, though! I'm proud of myself. Easy run again. Legs are feeling good after a couple of rest days. Weights after. (K 330.2)

Sore, stiff and tired today! Probably from weights. No fun. Hamstrings are especially tight. The usual warmup with the team before our speed workout for the week. Then the workout: 3x2000 @ 7:30 w/4:00 recovery, 8x200 @ 40sec w/35sec recovery and 2x300 accelerations (mile, 800 and 400 race pace for each 100) - a total of 41 laps around the Laub. Eew. 

The 2000s went pretty well: 7:29, 7:28, 7:27 for them. Nice. Then the 200s - 41, 40, 38, 39, 38, 39, 38, 38. Took a bit to get going, but not bad once I got into the groove of it. The 300's were untimed, but I just about died on the last 100m of each of them. One of my toes had the biggest blister on the side, so it throbbed during the entire workout. Once I got home, I drained it and it feels much better. Tired out! Long day, long workout. Cooled down to the engineering computer lab, then home after I'd finished my project.

Again exhasted and sore. Ran around a bit this morning, then later I did 60 minutes on the sweatmill at the Lundstrom Center. It's supposed to snow the rest of the week, so I'll probably be stuck on the treadmill lots in the near future. I'm going to get even better at singing along out loud to music while I'm running though! But I'm not sure when that'll ever come in handy. Scaring people away maybe? Greater lung capacity? Killing-you-guy? Anyway, it was boring. After, weight circuit as usual. (DS 48)

Ran around town in the rain listening to some new tunes. Did my 3x5:00 pushes at 3.5 and they were all right. Got pretty dirty with all the wetness and rain and mud and stuff. Decided not to run up the hill up highway 89 on my way back, so I hiked up the steep mud side instead. Fun adventure. Went a little over 60 minutes, but a good run overall. (K 338.7)

Froze to death on my run this morning. I thought it was only sprinkling rain so I only wore my water-resistant jacket, not my water-proof one. And I got thoroughly drenched. Brrrrr! I was intending to go a bit longer, but I couldn't stand it anymore. (K 346.9)

Later in the afternoon Sam wanted to run some, so I joined him for a half-hour run. We went 4 miles in the drizzle: from the fieldhouse, down 7th north onto highway 89, on the canyon road then up 6th east and back up 4th north, up the old main stairs and across campus back. Fun little run, minimal rain and good company. (DS 52)
