| Temps were fine, but it was a cold heavy rain today. Did some rescheduling at work for next week, but it still will be a long week- no worries, just will need to be up early each day to get good run in. |

| The local running store had a close out sale of last years models so I picked up a new pair of Mizuno's for cheap! That always makes me happy. I guess I should not break in shoes on a 18 miler, but eh, they need it. Had an early meeting, but then Cassie showed me her local bike path to run on. It was pretty nice, followed the river (of course with all the rain, the latter half of the path was closed so we did an out and back). She joined me for the 1st of 3 laps I ran. Let's see... saw a hawk twice withing 5 feet of me just sitting there and chilling out - never even thought about moving as I ran by. I also saw one angry squirrel. Seriously it look mad! I did not take squirrel culture (see 'Emperors New Groove') so I have no idea why it looked so mad. I know it wanted to take me out if I ran towards it. There was a muskrat swimming by the spill well and he was happy enough. Go figure. Anyway, decent temps, decided to rain after about 12 miles and then rain steady for the last 4 miles. Legs were pretty tired so kept a slower pace (8:39) until the last few miles where I ran harder. 8:03, 7:45, 8:02, but the 2 8's were on a steady incline with a strong headwind and driving rain, so the effort was there even if the clock says otherwise. Good day! |

| Funny how when you get a few warm days it feels colder when the temps go back to the low 20s.... Legs felt ok, no watch- good morning. |

| Cold rain this am. Back is still sore and frustrates me, but you have to deal with things. I pushed hard for a few miles, but then let up since my body just was not feeling it (back aches, calves tight). |

| 41 this morning with a little wind. Did some 800m intervals 6:28, 6:27, 6:31 and 6:22, just wanted to get some work in as I will be increasing the quantity of these as my back pain goes away and the spring comes in :) PM 5 miles (4 with Cassie - thanks!!) it was around 30 with a steady snow/sleet falling. It was either at our back or pelting us in the face! It was good to get out again though. |

| A little icy and cold with the snow last night so a nice easy run was in order, back is feeling better... Not all the way, but better. |

| Had to get some work done this morning so I ran in the afternoon. It was good though since the cat woke us up at 4am getting sick...LOUD sick. Do not worry, the cat is fine and up to its usual nonsense. An added bonus was the temp was 60+ this afternoon :) The only downer was the 20mph wind w 35+ mph gusts.. Hey a little resistance and occasionally a little push in the back is not all bad! Good run, Most miles run at a base pace of 8:16, but every 5 miles I sped it up to see if I can narrow down my new MGP. So miles 5, 10, 15 and 20 were 7:05, 7:11, 7:11 and 7:13. Mile 20 was into the wind and ended with a pretty decent incline so for tired legs I was satisfied with it.

| Decent cool morning to run. I started out with the intention to run 16 today. I rarely cut a run short because I feel I can push through. My body just was not responding today and I felt like I better stop or I may actually pull something. I think it is due to the long week and need a little more sleep. What I did run was ok, after 1.5 mile warm up, I wanted to run every other mile at my new MGP (7:15) So miles 2,4,6,8 &10 were at 7:13, 7:13, 7:17, 7:11, 7:09- of course this was meant to be for the whole 16. Oh well, I have been told over and over listen to my body and I felt like today I was. |

| Travelling for work this week. I am in Jasper, Indiana. No TM at the hotel, but there is a cool running path about a half mile away. I saw 5 deer less than 5 feet from me and they just kept munching grass... I figured I was plotting along so loud they would scatter, but not at all. |

| Ran the trail again, its pretty nice. Lots of runners out today. Had a side stitch on the left side for a mile and then it moved to the right for mile 2. Finally went away and the running resumed to normal. |

| Funny how when its jan 30 feels warm and near the end of march 30 feels cold. I missed two days of running, 500+ miles of driving had a bunch to do with it as did 2 hours of sleep one night. Hope it does not throw me off. |

| This has to be my worst run of the year. I simply could not get my legs under me if that makes any sense. I had no strength, legs were sore, no speed, nada. I really had to just trudge. I have felt this way for recovery runs, but that can be expected, I did not expect this for a Saturday run. I can't help but wonder if all the driving (mad my legs stiff) or perhaps the sleep/diet had an effect. I had one of my youth to council this afternoon so I had to cut a few miles off the run, but that does not bother me, it is a good thing. |

| Snow.... seriously ran while it was snowing pretty darn hard. No accumulation or ice, so no real worries. Today was the best I felt running in quite some time. No, not the fastest, but it just felt good. AM- P90X Shoulders and Arms + Ab Ripper X. I always ate like a horse, but now that I added these, I am going to break our budget on food! |
