Today I found out I was accepted as a tester for Brooks. Not a real big deal but I'm excited. Maybe they'll send me an anti-chaff shirt to test out...haha.

I was way too lazy to get out of bed this morning and go running. I'm still debating on rather to do doubles or not this week. Today was the first day I have not wore an ankle brace. It is still very soft to the touch but is handling running and walking much better now. I did my run non-aided (no ibuprofen) for the first time in awhile and am still able to walk.  My attitude is doing a little better. I was pretty miserable the last couple weeks when I couldn't walk or run without pain. Almost normal again.

TM run. easy pace with 10x100 at VO2 Max thrown in. Trying to get back into my scheduled runs and program. 10.1/1:06:30

Well, the dog was a little crazy this morning so we went out much faster than I wanted. My money is on the new snow invoked some sort of inner sled dog and he took off from the start. Before I realized it I had 3 miles at 6:15 pace. I knew it wasn't going to last and came back down to a 6:35 for 9.1 before I picked my wife up for another 5 at a much much slower pace, which felt refreshing.

Hills are now really kicking my butt. 

5 mile shakeout in 40 minutes at the gym. Heart rate was ok. Everything felt ok. Haven't really done a push like this in a while so I don't quite remember feeling this blown up. My body is pretty tired but I have an easy run planned again for tomorrow.

Ankle brace is back on. Shouldn't have left it home yesterday. Still drug free. I feel like I'm out of rehab.

I hate gossip. This week has been the worst, too many question I don't know, wouldn't tell or could care less about. People should worry about their own life and help people not talk about them.

Rest day, hooray! Focused on being controlled and staying in form on this blustery Leap Day. Run felt really good and ankle is holding up :) 6.61/48:18

On a side note, my wife made corn cowder for dinner last night. The boys and I ate it up like you should whenever your wife tries something new and its not very good, you think you would be rewarded for doing this but nope, we were met this morning with upset stomachs. I think the skunks are going to leave the neighborhood.

Dear Winter,

I haven't missed you, so could you please go back to where you were?

Woke up this morning to go out for an easy run with Nikki. 100 yards into the run I was wondering about turning around. We somehow manage to keep our balance and footing for a solid 4 miles. The plan was a few more but we really didn't want to test our luck, plus we were putting in a solid pace that would've put us home way to late to help the kids get to school. So here's a pace to talk about 4/42:13/10:34...and I didn't fall.

PM - 12/1:20:12 on a TM, definitely a little harder than I expected. Ankle pretty soft afterwards. Not sure what to do tomorrow. Need to move my long run up due to skiing with the kids plan for Saturday. I may end up at the gym just in case I need an out. I'll see how I feel in the morning.

Not an easy run this morning. Really, really wanted to do this outside but somehow ended up at the gym and did this on a TM. Probably turned out better because I had a few issues during the run. Started off and by 5 miles I knew it wasn't going to be easy, somehow talked myself into easy and felt good until 13-14 when I started to develop a blister on the bottom of my foot. I could feel the fluid squish and release with each step until I finished up. It's about the size of a 50 cent piece right below the big toe on the inner bottom part of the foot. Not real good but I'm sure it will be ok. Last 5 miles were torturous I don't know if it was the TM or the distance but I was coming out of my skin, my mind was every where and I just wanted to quit but I managed to talk myself into keep going.

My fluid intake was very poor this morning and I could tell. Gel and perpetum got to my stomach this morning, hasn't bothered me before. Not a great dinner last night probably didn't eat enough. Funny how yo can get away with these mistakes on shorter runs but the long ones tune you up fast.
