Ran with Anna, Ryan, and Jim today.  Ran the totem route a couple of times. It was windy, but still hard to believe that the roads were completely dry this time of year. Sun was out too!  Felt okay.  I really need to take better care of myself nutrionally.

3/7
Off- Couldn't run today.

Real good run today on the totem route.  Started at the post office and added a little extra at the end.  Felt great to be outside.  Can't believe it was almost 40 degrees out.

Both easy recovery runs.  Made sure it was easy after my 1st workout last night. Legs felt pretty good.

3/4
15 miles (4am/11pm w/ Tempo)

Nice and easy recovery pace in the morning before school.  Felt good.  I actually forgot my running bag, so I had to go back home before getting started.

I had a great workout today at the Dome.  It was my first workout of this training cycle too.  It was fun to do the workout in the training group with lots of people too.  I had Corbyn and Ryan in my group.  We took turns taking the lead which helped.  I may have run a little fast, but I felt pretty good.  We averaged 5:37 pace for all the tempo.  Rest was 2min between sets.

Got up at 5am to get this done before school since I have an End of season coaches meeting tonight at Chugiak. I kept it pretty easy and progressed from 7:30- 6:07 pace on the treadmill.  Felt good.

Had a real good run this morning.  It was nice to show up and have a good group of people to run with.  Ryan Beckett, Anna Dalton, Corbyn Jahn, Dan Myers, and Jim McDonough all showed.  Ran the Totem run a couple time and then Anna and I added on a little loop to get 18 miles.  Body is still adjusting to the long run, but that's all part of the process.  Felt pretty good for the most part.

Easy recovery after work today.  Felt good, but I never like waiting all day to run.

I felt great this morning.  I didn't get a bunch of sleep, but it felt easy today.  Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 5:52 pace.  Starting to feel the groove a little.

Super easy recovery after work today.  Felt great.

General Aerobic pace with strides at the end.  I stayed up too late last night.  Hopefully to bed early tonight.  Felt pretty good running though.

Both runs today were at recovery pace.  Nice to start getting doubles once in awhile, as long as I'm careful about recovery.  Felt good.  Both on treadmills, since it's still an ice rink outside.

I was thinking that the roads would be good on the Totem route, but I was wrong.  Super icy in stretches and almost had to walk or shuffle feet.  There were some longer stretches where I could open it up a bit.  It was nice to just be outside though.

Worked at Skinny mini today until 5, so I just decided to swing off at the AK club and run an easy 7 miles at recovery pace.  Felt good.

Kept it easy at the AK club today. After yesterday's run I knew I needed to recover, but I was suprised my body (legs) didn't feel all beat up today.

2/14
16 miles

Ran with Jerry Ross, Jim McDonugh, and Jeff Young this morning.  I was planning on just 10-12, but felt like helping Jeff with his workout so he didn't have to do it solo.  First hour was easy (7:00-7:10 pace) then we did 15 min of 6:40 pace, then 20 min. of 6:30 pace and that's when I had enough and backed off and kind of death marched the last mile.  Longest run since my marathon in October.  Ran a little harder then I was prepared for (no gu or water),  but I need to start somewhere.

2/13
7 miles

I ate way too much at Bears Tooth last night and kind of felt heavy running.  Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 6:15 pace before school.  Looking forward to a 3 day weekend and some runs outside.
