Up to this point I've been a Nike guy, but everyone and their mom raves about Asics. So, I'm giving it a shot. So far so good. Giving in to the fastrunningblog and Asics makes me feel like a superstar runner already.

pm--5 I was late getting out tonight, belly full of salad, tucked in gloves and an Arsenal woolie--it's for good luck--but I'm happy with my running. True, tonight my legs were a little slow to find life. Overall my comfy pace is coming down time wise. It's due to the increased mileage. I know if I want to fitter and faster I've got to run longer. Tonight's band--The National.

Total Distance

am--5 first morning run where I could see my breath the whole time, and my legs never quite lost the chill. But it felt nice due to the absence of wind. Ran with Adam, Larry, Bono, and The Edge. Bono sings the whole dang time.

pm--7  Reverse loop around clary w/ the graveyard hill. Averaged in the 8s the whole run.

am--13 Second time I've ever run 13 miles at one time. I probably ran this a few weeks too soon. On top of that, I packed a lot of miles--by my standards--into the last 3 days. My legs never loosened up, and the fatigue in my quads made this run hard from the very beginning, particularly with the incline at the first half of this run. This little anecdote sums my run up well. About halfway through my run, I fell in behind a woman jogging. She was probably in her 50s. She was running at a pretty good pace, and, deep down inside of me, there is a little runner who wanted to catch her. But in the end my fatigue and her constant pace broke me. This run, however, was a nice excursion. I love being outside. And, towards the end of my run, I visited my great grandparents grave. On a positive note, I can see and feel my body adapting to the increased workload, and, other than the fatigue, I felt no injuries on this run.

am--10 Well last night the snow killed my running, and then it saved it with a snow day. This morning I did some LSD--Long Slow Distance--and tried to avoid any and all slips, trips, and falls. Plus I've seen the video like 14 times. I ran out to Tuachan and noticed that I wasn't the only idiot packing the snow on the parkway trail. I'll try to run later to make up for last night.

pm--5 With the wif same route as Tuesday evening, minus the extension through the hood.

Austin, are you doing Painter's? Is it too late to sign up? One of my goals in life is to run a 20-min. 5K, so I like to run a few 5Ks a year. I'm not quite to the 20-minute goal, but I'm getting closer.

Merry Christmas!

Total Distance
6.25

pm--6.25 I went on a little run with my Christmas present--a Garmin, or as my mother-in-law calls it, a Garnim--and had a great time. I felt alright, considering my new blister, the 30+ mph winds, and the fact that I ran too soon after eating to take advantage of the somewhat clement weather. It's after runs like tonight's that I know I love running, or I wouldn't be doing it. BTW Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

am--8.75 I did a warm-up the length of Lava Flow then some speed work--400s at a 1:48 average. For me this is a pretty good pace. It feels easier, and I'm definitely getting faster. I did a cool-down home. My blister is feeling better, but I may be getting a stomach bug.

pm--7.25 Some speed work with a warm-up and cool-down. I did 8 4 hundies at the track. My best was 1:36. I'm trying to run these at 85-90%. I felt pretty good except that my left leg just below the calf is sore.

pm--6.5 My in-laws had the family olympics, so we did a little run. Most people did about 2.5. I added 4 more to get to 200 for the month. The upper achilles is a little tight. I think I'll ice tonight and ditch speed work for the rest of the week and just do some easy runs.
