5 this morning

3 at night

The past two weeks I have taken it easy. My upper calf was hurting at the speed workout I did with the cabanillas group (a week and a half ago). Nothing too alarming but Demetrio told me that if it was a muscle problem I could massage it and it would go away, otherwise it might be a bone problem. I did massage it and it seemed to get worse. I went on a road trip with some friends last week so I took some time off during that. This past week I have done a some light running with more cross training. Today was my first day to start running more miles. Hopefully next week I can be back in the groove.

4 miles slow

4.5 at tempo pace (about 5:45 average). It took awhile to warm up this morning. My first tempo mile was 6 minute pace.

1.5 slow.

all in all a good workout. I was tired yesterday and still more tired that usual today. It might be the cold weather getting to me.

Hello all,

This is my first entry. Sasha invited me to join this site about 6 months ago. Sorry for the procrastination Sasha. I keep a paper runner journal that I'm happy with so I plan on only posting my total miles on this site.

I wrote an entry yesterday but my sketchy home wireless internet cut out as I tried to submit it. My entry gave a brief overview of where I'm at in my training right now and what my winter training plan is. Basically I am in base training right now. I am putting all of my emphasis on building my weekly milage. It has been embarasingly low for the last year due to nagging injuries.

Since finishing my last serious race for the season (the moab 'other' half), I have built up to 50 miles per week. I would like to be up to the 70's and 80's by January and February.

I'm doing a little speed work, but mainly to provide some variety. I am running with the ...
