EXTREME MAKEOVER 2012

Planned on going 5-6 miles before Kellie had to go to the doctor, but I ran into my brother down by the pond and we chatted for a bit, so I only had time to run 4 miles.  It was a good 4 miles though!!!

Met up with Michelle and waited for Travis but he was a no show, he actually showed late and then couldn't find us on the road.  We looked for him for about 5 minutes, but we never crossed paths.  Ran out to Osborne and then started the 1 min on 1 min off speed.  Pace was supposed to be around 6:00-6:10 but we ended up going faster on every one but one which was uphill.  Legs and back felt good during the run and even after so that is a good sign.

Met up with Travis this morning for a cold, snowy, windy, slushy run...it really wasn't to bad until we turned back to the east to run back to the church.  The snow was blowing right into our faces for the last 4 miles.  It was good to finally get back to the truck, I am glad that we got out and now hopefully the roads are clear for a tempo run tomorrow.

ave pace 8:10

I am calling these easy miles, just because the pace was right at 8:00 min miles.  But the conditions felt like we were running 7's the whole time.  I was going to meet Travis at 7:00 am , but when he didn't show after 10 min I text him and actually got him out of bed.  I was willing to wait today, because I had no work and was not in a hurry and I really needed the company today.  The roads were slick,  icy, slushy you name it we ran in it.  We were suppose to tempo for 30 min today, but obviously chose not too.  It was a rough ten miles, but no falls so that is a good thing, and I am glad that I didn't have to run on the dread mill!
