Because of the heavy snow flurries, they let the schools out early which in turn cancelled practice. Kevin met me at my house and we went for a run around town. I followed up the run with a few str... read more

100% pain free today. The middle miles were nice and slow then sped up near the end when Kevin caught up me. His run was getting out of hand (too fast) and he ran with me to keep him slow.
2 mile warm up
3.2 mile tempo (4 neighborhood laps) in 18:57 (5:54 pace)
4 x 200m hills
1.8 mile cool down
Felt good to get in some speed work again. Beautiful weather today.
Wow Matt! I wish I could run like you xx

Ran the Echo Ln town loop with one of the boys on the team rather than with Kevin as I knew my body could use an easier day. This was an excellent run for him. (proud coach)
Nice! Thats my favorite loop from town.

I had to take my car in the shop for a quick fix so I ran while waiting for it to be complete. Had a few more aches and pains today, but nothing too major.
We had a "polar bear" track meet tonight so I was able to sneak in a quick run before it got too dark. Knee felt fine, but this felt so much harder effort-wise.
I started out on my run yesterday and got less than 1/2 mile before a pain in my knee hurt so bad that I had to walk back to the school. I immediately saw the athletic trainer and she didn't seem t... read more

I think yesterday's rest day was a smart move. No pain today and the pace felt comfortable. Excited for the next Winter Series race on Saturday.
Have a great race on Saturday. Looks like the calf/knee are coming around just in time for some speed.

The kids had a 25 minute tempo run. I ran a little slower than marathon pace and not as long. Still staying on the side of caution.

Running tempo at the end of my long runs because it's a great workout and confidence builder for the marathon.

Favorite: ~90 minute run because you can go so many places
Toughest: Longer reps on the track (800m+)- the fatigue and hurt set in a little earlier each time

After taking it easy for a few days and noticing yesterday that my calf felt better, I decided to run a little longer today. Longest run since the marathon and it's the best I've felt yet!
