Hillbilly Runner

4 mile run after work. I was going to have back to back rest days and not run today but my relief got there early so I squeezed in a run before the game. No garmin but <8 min. pace

Morning workout and run at the gym 24 degrees with a steady 10 mph wind but did manage to get a 7:42 avg pace because I ran the last 2 miles faster (6:51 and 6:28).

Not a good day at the Dunn house, my daughter and her boyfriend broke up and being a parent when your kids hurt you hurt. It's hard to make them understand it's not the end of the world but to them it is. Like any runner when you need to clear your head what do you do? You go for a run!!!! I added another 3 sad miles at a pace that was was probably faster than it shoud've been.

6 mile afternoon run

Morning workout and 7 mile afternoon run 7:42 avg pace

Morning workout after work

Rest day from cardio

20 mile long run 48 degrees, sunny and breezy at the start 53 degrees at the end. I know that sounds like nice weather to run in but for me it's a little warm for a long run especially with it being sunny.

6.5 mile recovery run. The legs feel surprisingly good today after yesterdays long run. I ran the first couple mile slow like I should but picked the pace up and ended up with a 8:03 avg. pace. Too fast for a recovery run but I just went with what felt right. I might try and get another 3 or 4 miles in this afternoon. This next week is going to be busy at work and it'd help to get a few extra miles in today.

Added another 3 miles in the afternoon

Afternoon workout after work. I didn't feel like running outside and the gym was full so I ditched the cardio and "Declared a Reat Day"

No running today... I'm waiting for the snow to stop falling so I can start digging out (14" total) I guess that'll be my workout for today. Actually we usally get a combination of ice and snow so just snow is not to bad.

Made my way to the gym but they weren't open yet so I went by my Dad's and shoveled off his driveway. Then back to the gym for a good workout and short run on the TM 7:30 avg pace.
