Running:
It's been a good month so far. Everything has been going pretty smoothly despite the colder weather. The last few days the temperature has moderated somewhat. Still have to wear winter clothes, but not quite as heavy layers. So far my MTD/YTD number is 115 miles as of today. Wednesday I got out during my lunch break and ran hill repeats again. 8 repeats plus warm up and jog back was 7.5 miles in 1:6:56. Thursday I got out for 8 miles in 1:6:32. I ran a mile out, then 3 loops of 2 miles each around one of the subdivisions, and then the mile back. Friday I ran my usual work 7.5 mile loop up Springdale in 1:2:58. This morning the temperatures were in the mid 20's with fog. The roads were OK, but the fog was freezing on everything else making for some pretty scenery. I decided to lengthen the run a bit today and get my first long run of the year in the books. In fact other than the marathon in October this was my first long run since 9/20/09. I ran 15 miles this morning in 2:06:16. This morning also was busy for the wildlife. I saw several deer bedded down in one of the "kettles" on the state land. They were there on both loops that I ran past the same spot. Also saw at least 50 turkeys right on the road in an area I usually see them. Actually chased some of them aside as I ran through the flock.
