| Ran with Jen on her Texas Road course, which I discovered crosses into Oklahoma. It was cold and blustery, but OK. |

Afternoon, 70 laps at MAFC, with and without Jen. That after a morning highlighted by a sore back and a headache. Felt about 81, not 51. But better by the afternoon after a nap, and she wanted me to join her at the gym. So, as usual, I got there early and got a couple of miles in before she arrived. She was having a running text battle with her mom for the whole workout. Then she shut down to go try a water aerobics class, and I headed home to rest up for... Speed work at Southside. Having decided to enter the 5K in Russellville Saturday morning, thought now would be a good time to actually try to run fast. Plan was for 5 X 800 at 5K pace. I actually got to goal 5k pace on the last rep, so guess I didn't over do it. With warm/cool, including some extra jogging with Rose and Mary Jo, wound up with a good 6-mile workout. Temp was about 45, no wind, a little chilly for singlet and shorts but certainly overheating was not going to be an issue. No idea what that means for Saturday; I guess I'll try to go out in the low 7 range, try to accelerate after I get a bit warmed up, and then try to hold on.

| 9:55 pace, AHR 126, two hours. Just what I wanted. Threw some extra hills into the route on 74th Street, still kept the AHR down. Now off to take Jen to the WAR meeting and meet some of the crew. |

| Gallowalking with Jen this morning. Thanks to the Garmin, was able to determine that we ran 2.3 at a sub-10 pace, and walked the rest. Overall average was sub-14. I think she's starting to realize that she can run farther than she had thought, and before long this run will be almost or completely non-walking. Hoping to get in another shortie later. |

Midday run at Chaffee with Kathy. I planted the seed in her mind that she can BQ at Chicago (which she seriously can), and I'm going to coach her toward that. She's running OKC before then, but afterward, I take over. Good run. She can really push the pace even with her 4-to-1 run/walk ratio; I walked some with her and we still averaged sub-10. And BQ pace for her is 9:32. Definitely within her capabilities, even if she's not convinced yet.

| Cold, blustery run/walk with Jen. She complained that the temperatures stiffened up her knee and didn't want to run much. I wanted to run to generate some heat and get out of that wind, but I stayed with her all the way. So that's my mini-taper for Russellville. We'll see how it shakes out tomorrow. |

| Kicked off the 2012 racing season with my return to the 5K at Russellville. Got third in AG there last year; didn't figure I'd do as well this year. I was wrong. I was 8 seconds faster and one place higher. It was colder than snap, 23 degrees, but at least it was sunny and no wind. Ran first mile in 7:18, then 7:14, then 7:18. Not quite as fast as I wanted, but consistent. Felt strong, so I probably could have pushed harder than I did. But I'm happy with this time in this weather (wearing tights) and very little speed work. |
