I ended up pushing to hard per usual on my 15 miler yesterday and was rewarded with a sore left groin. So, the thought for todays jaunt was take it slow and easy. Here's how the run played out...... at approximately .67 miles into the run, I see a thin guy moving at a good clip coming towards me. Low & behold Kris Depew. (my speedy friend) I immediately bang a U-turn and ask what his plans are for his run..... "just a 4 mile tempo" he responds. My next question is what kind of pace he's looking at, "about a 6:40 pace" he says. Perfect, do you mind if I join you? It turned out to be a great tempo, and I feel fine, but it really wasn't the smartest move on my part. I can be a real knucklehead some times :)
Total time for the full run 41:18.

Beat up from the feet up. Like a dummy, around mile 10, I saw a guy ahead of me and just had to catch him. Turns out that is was the same dude that beat me by 9 seconds in the half marathon I ran last year. He is actually a really nice guy and will be running Boston this year...... qualified with a 3:05.

Snow was much deeper and the footing was tough. I used my Inov8 Roclite 295 with the knobby tread.

It was nice to have some cleared pavement today. Right before the mile 7 beep on my Garmin, a dog wanted to bite me...... the bugger came real close in fact. I had to come to a dead stop and apologized to the owner, even though I gave him fair warning. You would think that a couple of loud coughs and throat clearings would have done the trick. 7:08 avg.

My wife decided that she wanted to go to the gym this morning @ 4:30 am. Side by side treadmill running. 7:30 avg.
4.18 miles @ lunch
I walked into the gym and all the treadmills (6 of them) were occupado. Damn! I jumped on an Eliptical just to get my legs moving and watch the mills like a hawk. About 10 minute passed and one freed up. Short stint..... oh well. 7:13 avg.

Dreadmill. Forgot to check my pace..... first two miles were 7:30 & I gradually worked down to a 6:36 for the last 1/4 mile. My lower back loves shoveling.

Treadmill. 7:08 avg. I could have run outside, but things are so messy and snow covered, that I would have been running in the breakdown lanes. Not the safest or driest place to be.
PM - snow shoveling.
Later PM - Dinner with my family at Crossroads in Acton. I run, so I eat. Appetizers, beer & drinks & dinner. Of course I over did it..... I always do. I'm a fat man stuck in a normal man's body.

Outside in the light rain. My stride felt a little clunky the first couple of miles and my calves were tight for some reason. Maybe all of the recent treadmill miles have weakened my stabilizing muscles? Felt good to be in the outdoors. 7:15 avg.

I thought that I'd see if the trails were packed down around Mirror Lake...... they weren't. I fell on my back and side when I entered the icy downhill slope of the parking lot and then proceeded to post hole for the next mile or so. Only an idiot could understand. 8:15 avg.
9 miles - 5:45pm
This would be my second cold run of the day. I donned the headlamp and hit the streets. South Acton with a quick turn around in Stow and back to South Acton. 7:33 avg.
