good 2.14 km 00:14:02 10:33 pace
Wow, after the last couple days of warm temperatures (we even had rain!), I went outside expecting it to be not so cold and nearly froze. Next time I'm going back to my really warm stuff! Quick run... read more

RUN
good 7.33 km 00:47 10:23 pace
Did a longer run today as a last prep before the race this weekend. I was intending to do 8 km but my legs started to feel really stiff towards the end so I decided to not push it. There will be a ... read more

great 5 km 00:32 10:18 pace
I was having difficulty getting myself to go out to run, but I finally did and it felt great even if it was a little slow. I need to remember this more often. Feeling good about the 10km race a wee... read more

good Snowboarding 05:00
I went snowboarding and the conditions were fantastic - snow fell just about all day but not heavily enough to cause problems, fresh powder snow but not too deep for me, and there was almost nobody... read more

RUN
good 5 km 00:33 10:31 pace
A bit slow and I had to run through a cramp, but I finished this run without any knee trouble. At the end I forgot to turn off my HR timer so the recovery HR is unusually low. In zone 18.56, Avg 16... read more

It was really fricken cold this morning (I think it was something around -5 C) but after putting on some extra clothes I made myself get out there this morning and go run. I had to dodge ice so my ... read more

swim

Had a lane all to myself and felt great. Pace was not my best but I haven't been swimming 1.5k's for a while, so not so bad I think.

blah 00:05:00
Tried to do my daily set of sit-ups after my run, but I couldn't get past 30 double crunches and 60 bicycles and even that much hurt more than my usual 60-120-120. Maybe it was because of the running?

RUN
good 5 km 00:32 10:11 pace
First run in a loooooong time, since I was both trying to stay off my knees to let them recover and because I was lazy with the holidays. My knees hurt again on this run but I found that when I adj... read more

Thanks Tor! I don't know if I'll beat my last time of 58m33s since I haven't really trained much this winter, but hopefully I can get close!
