Race with Old Man Winter

Got a quality 10 miler in from Kong's Corner with an assist from the north wind. Probably snowed in for several days with a big winter storm crashing the Christmas party even as I write.
I intended to shoot for 45-50 this week but that's not happening. Have to settle for what nature allows.

continuing on

Ran speed on the track on Saturday(8x800) @ 2:40-2:46, 18 yesterday (sunday) then got back out today for a recovery 6. sluggish start but managed to feel something in last third of run. tommorow is Cara's birthday so don't know if running will be an option. shakey weather for the remainder of the week so i'd better run when I get the chance. trying to get a 50+ week in sometime soon.

26,000 MILES

Good 12 miles in the evening-late evening. Getting stronger.
Without realizing it I reached a milestone today. 26,000 miles since I began recording mileage back in june of 1996. Basically that's 275 months at 98-99 miles per month. doesn't sound like a whole lot when you break it down like that. Guess I'll get started on my next 26,000.

kongs corner course

Had the north breeze/wind to assist with a 10 mile evening run. felt it pretty good. rest tomorrow, go again on friday. about 8 weeks to go for the 10/20/30k record attempt.

tuesday 10

considering I didn't want to run, i got a pretty decent work-out. after reading about some awesome masters runners (1:12-1:13 half-marathons) I buckled down and trudged through miles 6-10. weather is supposed to deteriorate cosiderably in the next 24-36 hours so i'm good for now. got to get tough and fast by spring.
