Hills today, Makes your stride/core strong but it hurts when actually doing it. The reason it hurts is because it's been ages since we've done a hill workout which means our bodies are out of shape

Going to be getting cold very soon for a long stretch. Basically typical winter weather and fall appears to be over. Even in Florida this weekend it will drop below freezing. I guess I will have to give in and start wearing running tights.

Clubs in two days. It's going to be cold. In other news I hit enough great deals on Cyber Monday sales that I ordered enough running shoes to last me for at least the next year. Glad I don't have to worry about shoes for awhile. My Christmas present to myself.

4 easy + several strides in CC spikes on the course in Tallahassee. Crazy running by Sam Chelanga, seeing Alan Webb, and 100s of very fast, and very genetically gifted skinny dudes.

Went down to Tallahassee to run in the USATF Club Cross Country Championships. This race brings in professionals as well as the best club runners in the country.  Normally this would be a race in which to dedicate a whole season and to peak for as most teams did. However, our team just came off a marathon and post-marathon gluttony and decided to do it.  Sadly we were not able to convince all of our fastest guys to go and some of them flaked on us. Looking at my time I realize I probably should have not planned on racing such a tough course a month out but it's a great all around weekend with my teammates.

Not much to say other than I was with so many dudes the whole way, even going through 5K in 16:05 then slowing down due to lack of fitness. It's amazing how gifted some of these athletes are and it really puts into perspective how difficult running can be above the local 5K champ level
