Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

A little more sore than I liked at the start after a "rest" week, but I held it together and finished the hardest speed workout of year. It was unbelievable weather, near 60, but cold weather on the way later this week.

6X800m repeats at 2:43, 2:43, 2:44, 2:48, 2:46, and 2:43; 400m really easy run after each repeat.

8 Total Miles, including warm-up and a one-mile walk after Chiefs-Bengals.

8 miles on JTR track after school. This included a 4-mile tempo run in 24:29 (6:07), which I moved up to Tuesday (from Thursday), after moving speed work from Monday to Sunday. All of this is an effort to take it relatively easy over the next three days so I can run a 25K trail race that my friend directs on Saturday (weather permitting).

Tempo splits: 6:11, 6:13, 6:12, and 5:53 (without pressing too hard).

11 Total Miles, including 3 miles walking.

10 miles on a cold and snowy/icy afternoon, with slick roads and trails, but just taking it easy and enjoying the aesthetics.

7 easy miles on Hwy. 300, still running cautiously on thawing ice. Very pretty winter afternoon, and the sun felt nice.

Because of road conditions, etc., no race today, but I'm enjoying the solitude.

14 miles on a very slushy JTR track, but the warm sun made it salvageable. Manages the final 4 miles around 7:00/mile, but not nearly fast enough, bad footing or not.
