ran from home down to the river path because I'm sure the trails are a shitshow right now with mud. since rain is forecast for the next two days i decided to knock out my workout today eventhough i didn't feel very awesome after a long travel day.

warm up down to the river and then 45' tempo just above 50k effort.

45:00, 7 miles, 6:20 pace

definitely stoked with the run because i was never really pushing. I think I could do this around 6:15 right now and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

met up with Darren at seneca creek park and got to work. stoked he came up from DC to join me. killer east coast single track. rocky, rooty, rolling, and awesome. 99.9% single track. did 20 with darren and then another 4 solo to get over 3 hours.

first run over 2.5 hours this year. figured i needed it with a 50k in 3 weeks. It's just a training/suffering race but i don't want to be totally unprepared. felt solid this entire run which was a positive.

looking forward to flying home tomorrow to my girls.

shoes: Hoka Clifton v2 (GRN)

ice and snow jog with ruby. most the the hood paths were plowed but there was a ton of sketchy ice. yaktrax didn't do much to help and microspikes would have been overkill. Just need to find another solution.

felt good running though.

Wednesday Mar 23, 2016 #

Note
slept:9.5

more big sleep... not sure where it's coming from but i can feel like i could have slept a lot more. maybe because Fi is sleeping 10-12 hours a night maggie and I are just catching up from the past 8 months.

shoes: Nike WH3

green mtn mudfest. maggie wanted to head out there and we didn't think it would be too bad.... damn were we wrong. combo of super slick ice and mud heading out. descending the rooney valley trail was a joke. craziest, slickest mud i've ever been in. we bagged as i didn't want maggie to get hurt trying to run. she has a marathon on 5/1.

still fun... just sloppy trails and i never feel good about being on the trails in those conditions.

wow... can't believe i rallied to get this done. Maggie had 2:30 on the schedule today so she wanted to get it done. I just wanted to go home and make pancakes! she talked me into it since Fi was hanging out with grandma.

quick stop and home to swap clothes and shoes and hit the river path. super dry but a bit windy. first 30' was a sufferfest and then I progressively felt better. Maggie was in the box the last 20' but we got it done.

3 hours on my feet today. I'll take it.

shoes: Hoka Challenger #4 (BLK)

snow run with ruby. ran up to te KC peaks. a ton of snow up there. breaking trail the whole time. came down the bradford trail for the first time. way more technical than i anticipated. pretty gnarly with 8-12" of snow covering all the rocks.... so fun though. ran with ruby and she was on 11 the whole time... living the dream.

this run was hard and i was pretty smashed after.

ran in the challengers. so uncomfrotable compared with the wildhorse 3's i've been running in again. time to donate the hokas.
