Moderate tempo tonight down to Golden Gardens and up the hill. Felt like I was going faster than the time reflected. I felt pretty tired going up the hill, but the rest of the run was at a pretty good clip.

Easy run around base today after work. It's been a little chilly the last few days. Wind was a bitstrong off the water today as well. Felt a little soreness from yesterday's workout, but not too bad. Good recovery run.

Easy 10:00 warmup, plus a few strides.

4 x 2:00 hills up Radio hill w/ jog-back recovery

Moderate 15:00 cooldown.

Felt pretty out of shape today, but the goal is to up this workout by one interval each week (maybe two) for the next couple of weeks until I get back in shape. St. Paddy's is coming up in a couple of weeks and it's already too late for me for that race, but I'll try and peak this spring for Bloomsday and Big Muddy after that...

Ran Discovery Park loop. Felt pretty good today, a little slow on the uphills. The weather was kind of nasty: wind and rain, but it was nice to get out on Prez Day.

Hit up about 6" of new at Crystal today. Sun exposed slopes were pretty icy under the new snow, but the north facing slopes weren't too bad. It would have been miserable without the new snow, since there was blue ice underneath everything, but it was a great day. No crowds and lots of runs. I forgot to wear my forerunner, so I didn't get a vertical total on the day.
