On HS trail with dog

Nice run on a poor weather day, 35 degrees and snow/rain mix for part of the run. Ran with Jess, Dan, Kathi, Paul, and Jarrow. Out in 26:44, back in 24:48; wind to our back on the way back. Longest run in a bit. Passed last months mileage with a week to go. Finally, over 400 for the year. Hope to be 1:35 shape by the GB 1/2.

At H'town track: 7:42, 7:29, 7:28, 7:40, 7:30. Just wanted to run sub-8s. Was too fast at this point in my training, but foot ok. Wonderful 60 degree day, but stiff wind out of the east.

40 miles last two weeks. Not much, but it really helps

Walk with the dog behind the HS

Easy run on a nice day - about 55 degrees. 13.2 miles the last 3 days - so can complete a half-marathon in 3 days. Have 8 weeks to improve.

Snow/sleet and 34 degrees. Was not going to run but Claudia said, "Hardcore runs in the snow"; shamed me into it. Happy I ran. Try to add a little distance each day - slowly.

7.1 Kilos for my 71st birthday; on Arrowhead. 8:20, 7:52 then into the wind 7:58, 7:52, 3:11. First time I felt like a runner in awhile. Was not favoring my right foot. Still a long way to go, but at least a decent run.
