Went running with my neighbor again and averaged under 9:00 minute miles...yahoo!! It was freezing cold and my legs never did warm up. We saw a dead frozen salamander all curled up on the side of the road. The recent warm weather must have lured him out, only to be zapped by the cold.

I wasn't feeling 100% yesterday, so taking it a little easy today.

Went for a trail run on a beautiful, warm afternoon. Everything was going well until I rolled my right ankle pretty badly. I hopped around for about 30 seconds and then continued to run. It's pretty sore after the run. I'll see what a little ice will do.

It was still pretty cold out this morning, but there was no wind, so it was tolerable. Other than the cold, it was a beautiful sunny morning. The sun was shining on Aquia Creek and the geese were heading south. I felt like I was just running at my normal pace, and maybe even a bit slower. But my final time shows I was actually cruising right along. Yea!

The deadly Hard Core Conditioning. Argh!

Sorry, but there was no way I was going running this morning. I opened the door to sub-freezing temps and a stiff breeze blowing. No thank you!

I wasn't going to ride tonight, I swear!, but a slightly stressful evening at home made me think I probably should. And I do feel better now. There's just something about those endorphins.

A long trail run. It was overcast today, but not extremely cold. I ran without a jacket but with gloves (mainly for the nose-wiping benefit!). I only fell twice, and those were more extreme stumbles than out-and-out falls. Everything felt fine, except my lower back is a little sore now.
