Training Log Archive: TomN

At the Rockville gym with Addie, Glenn and Rob. Solid on 10a. At the very end, Addie and I had a race on two side-by-side 5.9s. I was ahead for a while, but she topped out and I flamed out. That was fun.

First I walked the loaner dog 2 miles or so, while the temperature went up from 10 to 18 deg.F. Then I went for a 4-mile run, which got messed up because they had torn up one of the streets I was going to run on, and also some guy stopped me and asked for directions which got more complicated than necessary. Anyway the running was fine and the temperature got into the 20s, a relative heat wave.

Then I got a flu shot.

11 a.m. and 19 deg.F. I figured I'd run 4 miles but I felt so good I kept on running. I realized aboutl halfway through that one reason I was feeling good was I had been running with the wind. So a little cooler and a little more work on the way back. But the clothing system was just about perfect: 3 tech shirts and a wind-resistant pullover, tights, hat and buff, dachsteins.
