Freezing rain this morning. I knew the trail would be a little sketchy when my jeep turned sideways on the downhill leaving my neighborhood. Everyone out on the roads was on alert and driving very cautiously..... you know when New Englanders are driving 10mph on roads with a 40mph speed limit, things are bad.
Anyways, I met up with Gary at the Spring Hill Conservation lands and we very slowly began our run. The roots and rocks were coated with ice and made the footing very treacherous. The foot bridges were even worse, and if they were on an angle even in the slightest, you would slide right off the edge. Long story short, no one got hurt and we managed a slow 6 miles through the woods. 8:39 avg.

I met up with Gary for this morning's run. We started off running uphill for the first two miles, and then things evened out for the last three or so. It was a good way to start a Saturday.

Met up with Gary at the Acton Library. He was feeling a little under the weather and had to slow down a little. I was happy with that because the guy runs fast when he wants to. He owns a 2:32 marathon PR. 7:09 avg.

Speedwork? What is that?
Yesterday, my friend Kris asked if I wanted to do some speedwork. Before his email, I had originally planned on something long & slow. Then I thought about how it would be nice to run with another like minded human as I typically fly solo on my runs. I agreed and we met up at the bottom of the hill exiting my neighborhood. Kris had already marked out the distances on River St., as all the tracks in our area are covered in snow.
Kris is faster than me and I pictured myself watching his back the whole workout or needing to sit out an interval or two due to my total lack of speed training. After a slow warm up, we started some strides. I think we did about six total. Then we ran a mile and finished in 5:53. We then started our 800 intervals with two minutes of jogging between...... 4 total ranging from 3:00 - 2:51. Next up we ran four 400 intervals with a bit shorter jog between. To wrap things up we warmed down with about a 2 mile jog. Kris will send me the data on this session, as I only had my Garmin recording total mileage.
All in all, a very enjoyable workout. I didn't feel stressed or out of my element at all, and even felt myself pulling away from Kris at times. As we parted ways, he told me that I kicked his butt on that workout. (Happy? Just a little ;)) It was amazing to me how the miles racked up & how enjoyable this workout was. Hello Speedwork...... maybe you & I will meet again.

Considerably slower & tougher than yesterday because of the snow. I was in the shoulder for most of the route...... it was the safest place to be with the slick conditions.

Strapped on my new Kinvara's & headlamp and left the house. If I had realized that I was 1.08 miles away from a 70 mile week, I would have made the push. Oh well, close enough. The Kinvara 4 is definitely snugger in the forefoot than the Kinvara 3. I hope they stretch some. I might be joining the 2000 mile club tomorrow.
