| Warm out today (37) but 25-35 mph winds were no fun. Paths are a sloppy mess so no hills or intervals for a few days. Woke up with a bit of a head cold so sucking down the tea today.
Added another 3 before bed with Luca. She is not happy I am back at work and she doesn't get her daily 10 milers. But the moose are dopping their paddles so she will get some hiking with the hubs in.

| Beautiful day today. Paths were pretty good- few slick spots. Headed to the park for hill sprints- 10 of them- at the end of my run. Legs felt strong.

| Just a nice 10-miler at lunch. I was going to take Luca after the girls went down, but by the time I got out of their room it was almost 10pm (I may have accidently fallen asleep..) and a little too late for me. Trying again tonight.
2 miles with Luca. Nice and easy.

| Got out between work, picking up the kiddo from school and then back to work. Ran pretty well AP 7:30 which included some long icy sections that slowed me way down. Based on my effort today, my run on Tuesday was probably at a 7:10-7:15 AP. I am running a lot faster than I thought I was- which is always a nice surprise. Have a few busy weekends coming up , then going to add some longer runs into my regime so I am ready for Moab in March.
My route goes next to the river so Luca can run off leash and I ran under 4 bald eagles and I think, a golden eagle. I thought maybe it was a juvinelle bald, but he was huge so not sure. I checked our bird field guide (which my 5-yr old took as show-n-tell today), but the only distinguishing mark on a golden were some light colored rings on the tail and I didn't check when I stopped to look at him. Just glad they weren't hungry and going after Luca!

| took the 5yo skiing for the first time. She loved it and did awesome. Legs are going to be tired tomorrow after all the squats I did. Then 9 miles with the hubs after the little one went down for her nap. Great day! | | Add Comment |

| Went out while it was snowing and the path was super slippery. Micro slips in every step. I stepped in a hole running on Friday and tweaked my ankle a bit. Nothing bad and I ran Saturday as usual with no effects, but the run today my soleus flarred up bad. Not sure if it was from the ankle twist or the slips, but it hit hard and shot up into my calf by the end of the run. I iced, stretched and rubbed it out as much as possible. Icing today- hopefully todays run isn't so bad or I am calling my PT and going in . She fixes it right up.

| The first half mile was painful- I am sure I had an ugly face the whole time. Changed my foot strike and that alleviated some of the pain. Icing now- another round of deep massage and stretching should get me through it. I was planning on 3 hard workouts before I am stuck in training for 3 days, but that probably won't happen. I'll get some workouts in on the spinner at night instead...

| Soleus feels a little better. Lots of ice today.
10 miles with 10 x 40 second hill sprints. Downhill aggreviated my tendon.
PM: 4 miles with Luca.

| Drove home and picked up Luca and then ran her back. I was just going to do my loop with her and then drive her back, but change of plans half way out and just took her home cause of some work that came up.
Soleus felt fine and dandy so that is a relief. Iced before I ran and stretched really well. Gald I didn't have to go see the PT cause no time this week for it...

| 2.3 before class then 5 at lunch. Was hoping to do 4 in the morning, but my almost-3-yo wouldn't let me and wanted to do more after class, but two kiddos and a sick hubby changed things. Will be glad to get back to a normal routine this week. The past three lunch runs have been at a medium- hard effort to make sure I am back in time. | | Add Comment |

| Great day for 10. Felt good to go for more than 5 at a time.
Hoped on my trainer at night and finished with abs.

| Another 10. No Luca and no time crunch made for an excellent lunch break! With the hubs sick will probably have to take Luca out for a few tonight after the little monsters are in bed...
30 minutes on my spinner then 2 miles with Luca to keep her somewhat calm.

| Girls woke up early so I put teenage mutant ninja turtles on and gave them a bowl of cereal while I took Luca for a quick 2 miles to start the day off.
10 at lunch. It was a chilly 15 out. By the time I got back I looked like Elsa with frozen hair...
2 before bed with Luca. Much easier to do 15 minutes in the morning and 15 mintes before bed with Luca on the weekdays. Cold out.

| 10 nice miles sans Luca. Paths were mostly celar.
Girls wanted to play outside so went for a 2 mile run/scooter ride. Q (who just turned 3) ran about half a mile. I have two little runners on my hands and I am so excited!

| 10 miles with 10 x 40 secon hill sprints. It was toasty when I started and the sun went away and I was chilly by the end- hands could barely untie my shoes...
Energy was back and legs felt good. Could feel a little bit of spinning from last night.
Took Luca for 3 in the PM. I think it was warmer than the last part of my lunch run...

| Foggy today and humid out. Nice easy run.
Bought new shoes this morning and wore them. Little tight at first, but after a stop to wiggle my toes they loosened up.

| 10 miles with 4 x 10 min on/2 min off. pace splits: 6:37, 6:36, 6:40, 6:42 the last two efforts were into a head wind. The last one was a mess- around pudddles, on the grass, through the mid, against the wind. Not a great one to end on, but the others felt good and my fitness was on key for this early in the season.
River was busy. The sun was shinning and the temps were up to 41F. Makes people crzy around here- saw 2 people in shorts, a lady in a freaking tank top and some guy in shorts and a tee. 40F does not warrant summer gear people!!!
