Hangin' Loose

Was a interesting sight with the snow and the changing of the season.  Makes you wonder where fall went.  Rested again today.  And will start back up on Mon running again.  Hopefully I am recovered well enough to start again.  Will start it nice and easy.

Finally got out and ran today.  Felt really good but faster then I wanted on this run.  Couldnt really see my splits with my jacket on.  Ran down at the park 4 laps.  Kind of windy too.  I will have to go do more shopping for some warm clothing.  Been a while since I ran and was wanting 6.  At mile 3 I was feeling it was good but kept going and started feeling better.  Ended up hitting the 6 I was wanting to do.  So all is good.

Well I lost focus at the first of this run.  I was planning on making it a speed workout.  Since it was cold out and wanted to stay warm.  Was just wearing my new SGM shirt.  But like I said I lost focus and was thinking about running my next race.  As the first mile ticked off at 7:21 decided to just make a time trial out of it and go a faster.  2nd mile came at 6:56 and 3rd 6:41 last bit was 35 secs later.  I think I could of really done better on it if I would of warmed up right but just didnt want to slow down after getting going.  But it felt really good to run fast.  I am looking forward to doing more speed work again.  I love the feeling of running fast.  Next time I will warm up and then start it.  Instead of deciding to do a 5k 2k into it.

Had to work over a bit at work.  And a piano recital for my girls.  So missed my run for the day.  But it was good.  They both played very well.

Got up at 3 to get in a run before work.  Was nice and cool with the moon out.  First time wearing the really warm jacket and tights.  And it was just right.  Just a nice recovery run.  With last mile a bit faster(downhill).

Didnt make it out for a run or later with the kids.  So rest day.

Meet up with Teena and the gang for a run at on the JRP.  Was a nice run and was able to see some people I havent seen for a while.  Not much to report besides Teena hitting a man hole and going down next to me.  She was just skinned up a little bit on her hands.  And I hope nothing else.  So was nice to meet up with them and will try to do all my long runs on Sat with them unless racing throughout the winter.
