| Sam did the leading on this one. She's into pastoral runs, i guess because we kept to the back roads a lot and even hit up a dirt road on this one. A nice day for running, shedding layers the whole trip. I feel good running, and have almost kicked the annoying tightness in my throat when I run. |

| Newton Street O with the CSU training group. we had a blast tonight.
In attendance: Dean, Alexei, Brendan, Lori, Ian, Katia, Giovanni, me.
The course ended up being a little bit longer than I expected it to be and we found a couple of places where the map had changed ( big roads added and subtracted). I was running pretty hard beating Brendan's splits to most of the controls. But he chose a better route to #5, and Giovanni had a great split on the long leg to #3. Not sure if any one else was taking splits.
Sam served us all pasta and garlic bread when we got back, so she gets mad props for that. It's quite nice to have good friends, good fun, and good food. |

| road run 47:33 [3] 6.0 mi (7:54 / mi) | |

| I'm going to say, to myself, "good job" today because I twice overcame the urge to skip running. This morning I put running clothes in my bag when I had debated not bothering to search around the heap of detritus that I call my floor and then this evening I actually got the gumption to change into those clothes and run home. I felt quite good, and this time includes a lot of pausing behind slow people on the sidewalks, so I guess it was pretty quick. |

| Mondays are good days for being lazy. Well I'm content to be lazy on any day ending in -y, but this particular Monday fit the bill quite nicely. |
Sunday Jan 27 |
| Trail run 1:17:00 [3] | |
| |
| Trail run in the ice and snow with Pia, Wendy, Sam, Hill and Jeff. running in uneven, hard pack snow/ice isn't my favorite, but it's always nice to go running with a group. Jeff and I had a hard time keeping up with the women at first, not sure what that was all about but we agreed that they were booking it. At 40 mins or so Pia and Wendy headed back and the Saeger clan and myself continued on. Sadly, Jeff was leading and really hurt his ankle quite a bit when he hit an unexpected slick icy patch and came crashing down. The sprain was bad enough that the uneven trail back to the car wasn't an option so he sent Sam and Hill back to call the/be the Cavalry as he and I walked out to the nearest road. quite a chilly while later we were rescued. Part of the rescue operation involved Hilly pushing a car out of her way, which is just cool!
Reminded me of the far side cartoon with a bunch of jungle explorers in a group and one hapless fellow is dangling upside down, the victim of some fiendish native's booby trap. A guy at the back whispers to his friend " That's why I never walk first" |
