37 degrees, very windy and freezing rain today.  I am also hungover from all of the partying this weekend due to the numerous birthday parties. Anyway I was exhausted. I can't party like I used to.  Took today off.

1 hr. pool run then a change of clothes and an easy 7 miles this morning.

Today is my late day at work so I work until 7 and that means I didn't have to go in until later so I did an unusual back-to-back double. Running after pool running feels really odd. Anyway, I'm tired now.

10 easy. Great weather, mid 60s. Had to dodge tons of cyclists and joggers though. Standard ab routine plus some light deadlift and calf machine. some row lifting, calf drops.

10 easy. My legs were pretty sore but this was mostly due to the lifting yesterday. I'm going to scale back the lifting a bit to just twice a week. It makes my legs feel like shit otherwise. Anyway, I did ab bench, myplank/ab/push-up routine, and had a good strech. No lifting today.

AM: 1 hr pool run.

PM: 6 miles easy after work. skipped ab routine and lifting--just too sore and tired. First run in my Triumphs...probably going to switch to the Saucony Ride after this pair wears out.  Compared to my NB 890s, these things are bricks.

AM: 2 mi WU, 5K tempo on track in 19:20, 3 mi CD.

My first "workout" since last summer with my running team, I noticed that my aerobic engine is actually not too shabby. My pulse and my breathing were pretty normal considering the pace but my legs killed me and prevented me from going any faster but this is to be expected after so many months of pool running and my right leg being in a boot.  It will take months to progress at faster than easy paces...but progress I will.

13 miles easy/progression. Started out wanting to do 14 but by the end of 13 I was done.  I went out and back and it was very windy coming back. Also very hilly on the section of the Custis where I finished. Anyway, I still ran "correctly" --slow to fast, the Kenyan way.
