Clinton in the Spring
Another perfect spring day in February. 55 F at lunch today with no wind and a lot of sun. Some melting snow rivers coming across the road but that is about it. Today Justin and I did a reverse Old Lancaster loop which is not typically the direction I do it in. It takes the flats for the first 4 miles and then the remaining 3 are all hills. I typically hit the hilly section first and then cruise the flats. It is a 6.8 mile loop and it took 43:35 to complete. Tonight my training partner is heading down to NYC for the winter cross nationals 4k on Saturday. There will be plenty of competition. Rumor has it Alan Webb heard Justin was racing and bailed. After the run we did our abdominal routine in the fitness center.
Tonight was another gorgeous night to run with a the temp dropping to 45 but still shorts, long sleeves, gloves, and a ball cap. 5 in 32:26 for magnolia rd shake-out. It is much easier to block the lights of the cars at night with a ball cap. After the run I did 8 hard strides to try and loosen up my quads which have been crazy tight as of late.
I wanted to write about Bode Miller but there just isn't time tonight.
Tomororw is an adventure run down in Auburn. Should be sweet. Tonight Christy has class so I have start cooking up those sweedish fish. They aren't going to cook themselves.
