AM   Another morning of starting out sluggish for the first 2 miles and as the run went on I was feeling much better,  but on the bright side I am glad it is not the other way around and finish sluggish right.  McKay was in town and ran with him for the last few miles, have not seen him in awhile and just nice to catch up again.

PM   Lunch run from the shop up to the Greenbelt and ran a few times around and back to the shop  6.18 miles

AM   Ran City Creek this morning with Glen and had a great time, but legs felt heavy on the up hills and fine coming down. It was a little cool at the top but the trail was in great condition.

PM   Got in a 2 hour nap this afternoon and felt awesome as this does not happen much.  Set out for another run this afternoon and felt good but just was taing it easy for the most part 

A good day!!!!!

AM   Today was good training for the 100 miler in just 5 weeks, running in some tired legs and just kept pushing and got it done.  Was hoping to get into the low 90 mile week this week but had an off day on Monday,

AM   I have never been so disappointed that I did not finish a run in a very long time! Set out at 3 am and I knew it was going to be a tough run but not that bad as it was 13* and the winds was at 22mph which mad it 2*.  I had planned to run 28 miles on a back to back run with yesterday run of 23 miles butthings changed.  At mile 3 I went to get a drink from my pack and could tell the hose was getting restricted and the water was getting cold on my back and by mile 4.5 I went to take another drink and the hose was solid and no drink was going to happen, so I finished up a 9 mile loop and yes it was cold heading into the wind and got back to the truck and turned the heat on and got the hose freed and set out again and to have it happen again by mile 11 and ust finished a loop I started and called it quits.  Very disappointed  as I felt good but just not ment to be

AM   Cold but the wind was not bad.  This training block has been tough as I am only 3 1/2 weeks out from my next 100 miler.  Cold temps and hard to get warmed up at the start of almost all my runs but it is what it is and will alway do my best

AM   Set out on this run at 2am this morning,  temps was not to bad and very little wind but did stop to change my shirt and coat 2 times so that I would not get chilled.  Happy with the run and worked on nutrition and found out what doesn't work for me, that is the nice thing about training runs right.
