Decided to run right after wrestling practice.  I wrestled a bunch today too.  I kept it easy and the Alaska Club south is way too hot. I'm not uncomfortable running, I can take the heat. But, I sweat so much and I get to drenched.

What a great run today to start off the new year!!! I went to the west club, since south was closed.  Was thinking of running outside, but it rained last night and looked very icy outside.  Anyways, started out at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 5:27 pace at the end.  Last few miles were all sub 6. The whole run felt effortless.  Here are some key races, I'm thinking about this year.

3. Alaska 10K Classic
4. Skinny Raven Half-Marathon
5. Chicago Marathon

Over 40 degrees out this morning and slightly raining.  Felt so good to be outside on the last day of 2014!  Ran my South loop and needed Ice bugs.  Kept it easy and felt pretty good.  Hips a little sore from wrestling.  Big Mileage PR for the Year.  Looking forward to new goals for 2015.

Ran at the AK club since it was snowing outside and I wanted to keep the running easy.  Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 5:40 pace.  I sweat so much in the club.  I probably would've run longer, but it was almost embarassing how sweaty I was.

Wrestled later that day too.

I finally got outside and had a great run today.  It was warm out (35above) and sunny.  I ran my South  loop.  I didn't run the last 5 days, because I just got overwhelmed with work and wrestling.  I know I need a slow down in my life right now.  Running is a great release though.
