It band felt good today after Tuesdays pain, only pain today was the cold weather. It did feel good to be outside though. My calves felt especially loose today, not sure what that was all about but I liked it. I think I'll be ready...well at least capable of running the Jig.

Thought I hurt my calf this morning walking down the stairs. Turns out it was ok but I did strain a muscle in my hip while sprinting so I had to stop. Should be fine for to Orrin's long run

It's Chilly Out

4 easy miles - 34:02 - 8:30 pace

It was stinking cold out today. I was considering running my intervals at the track Satruday but wow, not sure if that's a good idea. Regardless, it did feel good to be back on the pavement. At about 2.5 miles I was convinced I was gonna stop at 3 miles, the hills were killing my quads and the air was killing my lungs. Then I got my second wind and the last mile was actually my fastest and it finally started feeling good to run again.....Look out Jig!

Short Sore Run

slow run today, knees were a little sore from the long run on Tuesday and all that hilly running in Cali. Run tomorrow and maybe give them a days rest.

Long run

Got a long run in today after that rough run in Cali. Legs felt a little weak and knees sore, but it was a good run

California running

2 miles

Running through this ranch was difficult, so hilly. The downhills killed me knee, so I did a lot of walking downhill but ran back uphill. Good speed workouts though.
