Easy lunch run. Lots of snow on the trails today, so a bit more slippery than yesterday. Was up until 2 AM stressing about work assignments, so feeling pretty tired today. Put in some hill repeats and then finished with the stair climb. I leave for Winnipeg tomorrow, so may skip my run this evening to hang out longer with my wife.

Leg Work

2 x 15 single calf raises; 2 x 15 hip extensions; 2 x 15 two-legged squats

Lunch run at Crowther. Since I'll be in flat Winnipeg for six days come Thursday, I figure I should try to get in some hill work while I can. Felt great on the trails. Was moving quickly early on, then came upon a woman with six unleashed dogs. She didn't seem to care that they kept running back and forth at me, as she was engrossed in her phone conversation. So I turned around and went back the way I came. On my hill repeats, I ran by another woman with an unleashed dog and this one bit (or nipped??) me on my left calf. She paused in her phone conversation long enough to ask if I was okay. I don't hate dogs, but really wish their owners would keep them from jumping/biting/intimidating others.

Finished with the stair climb.

At the in-laws for an early dinner tonight, so will only get in another 45-min run for the commute. Unless, of course, I go out for a third run of the day, but that seems a bit excessive.

Easy commute to the in-laws for dinner after work.

Feeling good. I take Mondays off to hang out with Kieran for Boys' Night while Rochelle goes out with friends. It's probably good to give my legs some rest anyway.

Core Work

2 x 15 crunches; 2 x 10 leg raises; 2 x 15 bicycle (?) crunches; plank (45 sec); 2 x 12 push-ups

I'm a weakling, so I need to keep doing these.
