good to be running again even though it's a hassle, it hurts and nobody cares one way or the other.
the next 2 months will tell how effective the winter mileage ramp-up has been.
Brenda is gone to Ky. to help move Cara and Crew to Lawrence.

10 in the hills

cute and sunny day! solid effort on the ups and finishing with 2 way car fartlek.

Not so great 8

Windy cold and cloudy. Felt good for 4 1/2 miles then lost focus. I believe I probably got more good out of the last 3 1/2 miles of agonizing struggle than the first part even though it was slow . The unknown parts of training are most intriguing. ( hope I spelled that correctly)

Solid 10

Calm conditions and mild temps paved the way for an enjoyable 10. Felt good right from the start and carried through to the finish. Didn't over do it but pushed hard enough to get some good out of it.

10/30/216

After nothing but zeros until Thursday I managed to run 30 miles for the week. 43 days into the year and I'm averaging almost exactly (1 mile off) 5 miles per day.

Saturday 13

Single digit wind chill. 6 1/2 miles north on hwy 66 and return. Good run!

7 on Thursday

With Cara and the boys in town this past week, I put running on the back burner. They left this morning (headed north) so when I got home to a boyless house, I took to the road for my first run of the week. Felt good energy with the rested legs, but kept the pace slow and easy.
As good as that felt, I'd still rather be playing with the boys.

16/30

A cold cloudy and breezy day found me headed to the Verdigris River (via hwy 266). Uneventful for the most part. Found a bit of rhythm mid-way through but lost it with 4-5 miles to go. The effort of last weeks 25k zapped me pretty good I guess.
That's 16 for the day, 30 for the week and 186 for the year.

slosshy 7

Got caught in a heavy rain midway through a 7 miler. The 25k is still hanging on. Sluggish during, sore after.
