| running to and from hillcrest... at the very last block, i just went all out sprinting just for fun and i think i set a new record for the fastest sprint down the block! |
| running intervals 21:00 [5] | |
| |
| Ran the loop starting from the bottom of the hill on Hillcrest, right up the hill, left down Princeton, another left onto Denbury, and then the cruise down the hill back to Byron. Ran really hard on that part, and then walked along Byron until I got to the bottom of the hill again. Only did it 4 times with about a 2min rest in between each one (it varied quite a bit) so i made a deal with myself that if i only did it 4 times, then i would really have to book it the last two. and book it i did! i booked it all the way up the hill, and then tried to keep pushing the pace as much as i could going down the hill as well.
i started out listening to music, and it was fine during the warmup, but once i got into the intervals, it just drove me crazy!! i couldn't concentrate at all and my pace really slowed down. my first interval was about 4min and that was with the music, my last 3 were without, and they were all about 30-45sec faster. not running with music again any time soon. |

| Ran with the ski team outside, after a bit of whining about how cold it was and that it was kinda raining we did some intervals which were a blast!! Sprinted up the hill right beside Nepean 3 times with a little bit of rest in between. |

| a little bit more pressure to get to ofsaa... i'm missing the senior jazz band playing at the festival, so the music director demoted me and paul to playing, just not really playing. but now, if we don't end up going, then i'm not sure what the band is going to do cause the trombone section is all rearranged. so, with that in mind, i think that i will be doing some intense skiing right up until the qualifying race. |

Monday Jan 7 |
| running 1:04:00 [4]10.6 km (6:02 / km) | |
| |
| Decided on whim to run down to the river and maybe get to downtown... but that didn't quite happen since the was knee-deep snow all along the path. Pretty brutal, but great strength training so I stuck with it for 15min and made it all the way to some buried parkbench somewhere before Parkdale before turning around and running back to Island Park. At least on the way back I could step in my tracks so it wasn't as bad. Uber foggy too, which turned out to be good cause then nobody could see me stumbling along and I didn't feel like a total idiot... just half an idiot. |
