Wasn't very excited to go out today looking out the window at the snow/rain falling. Called Kim for motivation and that seemed to do the trick to get me out the door. Since I went longer than planned yesterday I took it real easy on pace.

Ran 7 peaks hill route with 8 x 10s hill sprints (actually it might have been 9, I was having trouble keeping track of how many I had done). Did the sprints a bit more gingerly than usual, probably shouldn't even call them sprints.

Turned out actually not being too bad a run. I did get a bit wet but by the end things had cleared up a bit.

AP/HR: 8:41/143

Hudson: "One factor that tends to delay a performance peak is maintaining balance in one's training. A peak tends to occur when you push your fitness strongly in a single direction by heavily emphasizing a particular type of training."

Yeah! I love it when the motivation goes both ways! Thanks for the call!

Just getting out the door is half the battle. It's nice that you guys have a built in support system. Nice run.

Wow Cal that was weird you must have commented on my blog at just about the exact same time I commented on yours.

Great minds, a terrible thing to waste. :)
