Run Run Run

9 miles

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.

5.26 miles - early am

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.

6.02 miles @ lunch

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.

6.28 @ lunch

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.

7.4 miles @ lunch

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.

2 miles @ the gym

5:30am with my wife.

Slow.  I have a slight strain in my left groin...... it's annoying.

19.25 miles

50' Freakin' degrees people!  Beautiful and not a cloud in the sky.  T-shirt and shorts.  7:29 avg.  Groin is a bit gimpy.
