I’m trying to get this training back on the tracks, this week I got in my Tuesday and today’s 40 minute outings, doing a loop I’ve perfected (meaning I know where every stick, rock, and beer bottle lies in the path). It’s interesting to see how the running goes when you loop in opposite directions.

On Tuesday, I took it counter-clockwise, which is usually faster since is mostly down will for the first half, but I was dragging so it was slower than usual route. At least it was pretty weather; sunny and around 60 degrees so I was in shorts, yet there was plenty of snow piled on the yards along the way.

Today, I took the clockwise loop, and did it a little better, and felt more into it.

I’ll be down in Phoenix for the weekend and beyond, so I get to run with Team D Saturday and then the long lovely 12 mile Big F****iung Run on Wednesday. That’s the longest one to date, after this, we go into tailing off the miles mode leading up to the race on January 17.
