    Not sure exactly how long this "5k" race was, but it was around 3.6 miles. Apparently the volunteers sent us the wrong way. Still, fun to meet fellow DMer Janine at the finish line, and t... read more

      Guess this will mess up my athlinks.com 5k rating. :)

      Thanks, Lynn and Kate. I slowed dramatically towards the end. I need to get working because I'd like to hold that pace or faster for an 8k, so this was a good indicator I'm not there yet. And Janine, you had a great time, too. I just looked at the official results. Too bad they didn't accommodate for the new distance, since it's showing us at an 8+ minute pace.

      And Christie, sorry I missed you there today. I took off right after the 5k was done.

  4. Sunny but 17F and a light breeze for the race this morning? Maybe squeezing in a 5k in February wasn't such a great idea!

      I had the same thoughts...
      It was nice meeting you, Jim. Apparently not only the 5K, but also the 10K was longer. Nice hilly morning run, nevertheless.

      Okay, so they may have us seeming much slower than we really are because the results aren't adjusted, but at least they're flattering me by getting my age wrong. It says I'm 37. That's a few years in the rear view mirror now. :)

      Thanks. It was pretty nice out. I couldn't capture them with this photo, but the flakes were huge. I was thinking it would be interesting to take a picture from this same spot during each season I run on this trail.

    good DPRT Out and Back 3.7 3.71 mi 00:28 07:33 pace

    Took a break from work for a quick run on the trail, in the snow. Nice out there, although the trail was frozen and rutted, so it was a pretty good ankle workout.

    Little bit of a light row today. Even though my running miles have been down the last few weeks, I've had some pain creep back into my left knee. So it was rowing and bike today. Maybe a run tomorrow.

      Good! Glad you liked it. I ran under Coach Newton in the 80s. Was fortunate enough to run the state meet and win a title (team title, not individual of course). I thought the movie was fantastic. Believe or not he's mellowed since when I ran there.

      Thanks, Lynn and Janine. I had to go back a week in the program because I skipped too much time. And even with that, I struggled to complete this workout, so I better get a little more focused if I'm going to complete the program. It's tough.

    It's January 31, we live north of Chicago, I went out for a run at 5:45 p.m., and it's still 54F degrees out! This winter is crazy. Felt great to get out for a quick run.
