Ran 5 with Kim on a windy but fairly warm morning. Then we parted ways and I ran 2 more while she put on her new coach hat and helped some 20+ ladies get started on a couch-to-5k 9 week beginning runner training program. Go Coach Kimmer!

Later went to the gym for 10 min XT and 2 miles BFOG. Brrrrr on the BF!

Six in the morning with Kim. When we started we had a nasty wind with snow pellets smacking our face but thankfully after the first mile or so the wind died down and it ended up being a pretty nice run.

Later to the gym for 30 min XT and some core.

Working at home so we ran just before noon in the sun. The sun was really nice but the dang wind was bothersome. But we're used to wind here in SF.  Kim had a 3 mile tempo run planned which sounded good to me to help me transition to a bit faster running and MP. She had some pretty good mojo going and averaged 7:40 over the 3 miles finishing with a strong sub-7:30 on the last one. Nice.

Mini-rest day. After 10 min warmup on the stair stepper I had a nice relaxation 4 mile run at work.

Coach Kim and Kay went out extra early this morning so she could get her 6 in before meeting up with her newbie runner ladies group. Since I was only going 4 or 5 I decided to sleep a bit longer and go out solo. Ended up with 5 on a cloudy but peaceful morning.

During the run I was inspired to give Sensei Kim's running grasshopper's group the honorable name of "Kim and the Kardiodashians". So from this point forward that is what they shall be know as.

A bit cold for late March and the canyon wind was ruthless this morning. But we got out and got er done early running with the other SF crazy runners. Ended up with 14 miles. The last mile uphill into the wind kicked my fanny.
