Ran to the Rec Center.  Total time 1:01:16 for an average pace of 8:38. The first couple miles I could feel the soreness in my legs.  I was glad that the pain started to go away during mile 3 and 4.  I ran the last mile at a faster pace just for fun.  I had a dog charge me head-on at the end of my run.  The little old lady was yelling at her dog to stop.  The hairy little beast just kept coming at me.  Right when it was ready to bite me I huddled the mutt and it just kept running in the direction it was charging.  The little old lady said 'wow' and I replied to her that most runners learn to counter dogs and other animate objects that get in our way.  It was a good lie!!

Splits: 8:51, 9:24(I did 2 sets of pull-ups), 8:50, 8:50, 8:22, 8:36, 7:34, and the last 0.1 mile at 8:01 pace.

I cycled for 30 minutes in class and then went to the pool and swam 50 lengths of intervals, mostly 50's and 100's.

We were moving along nicely until we started hills. I was too tired and chaffed to keep the momentum going. Ended up being an easy, slow run. I will try again thursday. Went to yoga in the evening. That always seems to loosen everything up. I feel much better now!!! Good night!!

Ran 6.7 miles with Phil, Mark, and Elijah.  We ran around Washington City.  Another very cold morning.  It was still early when we finished so I stopped by the rec ctr to run 3 more miles.  I have a cold coming on too.  Not a whole lot of energy to do much more!

Mark, Britnee, and I ran from Coral Cyn up and through Quail Reservior and then over to Harrisburg back to Coral Cyn.  Very Cold morning... I should have worn more clothing!  Still fighting this dang cold.  When I got home, I should have went back to bed, but I had to go bike riding.  I rode up to Winchester Hills (13 miles uphill) to Meet John and Katie.  We then did the Snow Cyn Park loop (18 miles), and then I rode home (13 miles fast!!!) I hope I feel better next week.
