I ran with the BBK group this morning and we did some hill repeats and stung the legs a bit.  I eased into it a bit today and it felt good. I have lost a lot of speed and need these workouts. I did  a total of 10 miles.

I ran on the Oval with Misty and Danielle today. I did 6 miles and 2 of them at a 5:30 pace. Very boring, but warm.

I ran up at Daybreak this morning with Danielle, Misty and Charity. I was with Danielle after a mile and this big dog came charging out at us barking and Danielle came unglued! She panicked and I was yelling at the dog and the owner didnt even do anything. He said its a lab, it wont hurt you. In the dark it looked like a bear so it didnt matter to me what kind of dog it was, it charged me and thats all that mattered. We had a yelling session in the road and I finally left. The wind was pretty strong from the South and actually felt good by the time I turned into it. I finished up 6 miles at a nice comfortable relaxed pace.

I started the race circuit today by running the 5k. It was a bit cold but nothing to keep me from wearing shorts and a singlet. I warmed up 2 miles with Jon and Cody and then started the race. There was a ringer in there that started the race on fire! I forget his name but he was on his own from the get go.  Cody and Tim, Jon and I were in a 2x2 group and by the first half mile, my legs started burning. I tried to push my pace a bit and stay with Cody and Tim. After the first mile Nathan and Jeff passed me and looked pretty good. I hit the big hill and caught Nathan and then we had the downhill and I passed Jeff and got close to Tim again. Then there was an up hill again that I had forgot about and it kicked my butt. I got passed by Nathan and Jeff. I waited for the downhill to try to push but by then I had a good 100 feet to make up. Didnt happen. It was icy on all the turns and a bit scary but held on to a 6th place finish and That puts me 3rd in the series if the winner of todays race decides not do do all 5 races. Cody kicked some major butt today! He beat me by 35 seconds! That is great for an early year race like that. I did a cool down run with Tim Cody, Jon and Nathan and Jeff.
