Every Run is a Great Run!

Working at home today so decided to wait until just before lunch so I could catch some sunshine and not have to worry about frozen-face weirdness. Ran solo and did 6 hill repeats along the way, trying to build some leg strength and prep my legs for faster running. 

8:22

Relaxed 6 miles with Kim in the early morning. Then later got to the gym at work for 30 min XT. Managed to get to 4 minutes planking last night but not without lots of encouragement/coaxing/whip-cracking from Kim. Thanks babe! Looks like I might also be down 2 or 3 lbs since first of the year. Nice to see my motivation slowly returning after taking a break since BCM.

6.5 miles with some "far-tlek-ing across the universe...". Working at home today so went out with Kim just before lunch. Didn't really have plans for any kind of speed/tempo workout, but Kim seemed to have some extra umph so she ended up doing a few mile repeats, I think mostly in the 7:30-7:50 range. I joined her for some of the fun but also decided to test out my seem-to-be-recovering hamstrings by doing a 1/2 dozen or so strides. So far so good, all in all it ended up being a fun little run. Hopefully my hammies are happy tomorrow.

Six miles solo in the early morning on very sloppy, slushy roads. Had the yak-trax on for the first little while but it was too warm for them to be useful so ran without them most the run. My shoes were entirely soaked by the end of the run but I still enjoyed myself. Later got to the gym for 30 min XT and some pushups. Tonight I'll try 4 mins of plank and see if it's any easier than last time.

Foggy morning out and lots of black ice I had to be very careful. But luckily I made it home in one piece without biffing it along the way.

Ran with the gang in the early morning. Temps in the low to mid 20's felt much nicer than last week so no freeze-face problems. But didn't have a whole lot of oomph I think my 60-min massage yesterday (more of the painful variety rather than the relaxing kind) might have had something to do with it.
