Managed to get it done - ran foremaster, and again, walked and jogged the last 1/2 mile - however I think I'm getting sick this time - my weight workout last night ended early because I was about to vomit and I didn't want to mess up the floor!

Well - I was sick. Wed & Thurs was sicko days - much better and normal today. Ran 3M with no problem around an 8:50 avg and plenty of energy throughout. It was the coldest yet this year (36degs) at 5:00am - I actually enjoyed the chill and for once was dressed appropriately - no James, I did have a shirt on this time!!

Nice enjoyable "cold" run. Ran along the river trail and the temp said it was 28degrees - and I totally believed it because it was cold. Ran 6 miles for the first time in a long time. Actually took the first 3 really easy and then the next 3 at normal pace. Time was 29:36 (9:52 avg) and 27:22 (9:07 avg).

Little chilly but not as bad as Saturday was. Had a good 3M - didn't look at the watch at all, just ran and relaxed. Time was 26:38 (8:53avg). Will build up the days to 3M and keep Saturday run at 6M for awhile - then I'll add the speed - want to build the base slowly this time!

Hard to keep an old track guy off the track! Anyway I did 3M on the track with 3x400 @1:45gp (goal pace). Did 3 lap wrmup then hit the 3x400 w/400 recovery and then 3 lap wrmdwn. I new this was well within my means for this part of my training. I ran 1:49, 1:42 and 1:40. It was good.

I think I am motivated to do this again - today I have to be somewhere at 7:00am, well I run at 7:00am, and I want at least an hour to recover, dress, etc. before I go - so I was up at 4:30 and out the door by 4:50 - on a Saturday! Oh well - it was a great 6M run, nice and easy in 55:24 (9:14avg) - had 2 hills that took me to 9:38 and 9:41, the rest were between 9:02 and 9:05 - so still doing good.

I was out - I saw - and I conquered, for the first mile anyway - after that it was just mileage. Overdressed again I feel. I hate the cold in that I don't want to be too cold, but if I'm too warm then I suffer too! ugh!

nice cool 30 degs this morning - water from yesterdays melting snow apparently didn't freeze as I had no ice anywhere on the road or trail. Ran 3.0 in 26:46 (8:59,8:48,9:00) and went a lighter version of my clothing and it went well - so I think I got the layers right this time!

Wow - it was pretty cold, but only took 1/2 mile to warmup. Went for 8 today and it was great. Kept it around 9:45 going out and 9:15 coming home. Time was 1:16:33 for a 9:34avg. Did my desert run (fort pierce industrial) and found out the have a huge split highway out in the middle of it - that will be interesting once they open it.

2.5 TM miles - wanted 3, but was way to board and sweating up a crazy storm! I think I'll stick to outside from now on.

I was going to run Friday - but I heard it raining this morning and had to go out in it - I am one of the rare breeds that actually love running in the rain -- and it wasn't very cool so I really enjoyed it. Did 3.5 and had fun running on Christmas morning - there was NO ONE in the streets the entire run - no cars, no people, just me - first time ever and it was grand!
