This was a pretty quick pace, but it felt great to be moving a little faster again. Giving the shape my right ankle is in, I think this may be my last run before the Goofy Challenge.

This is the longest run until the Goofy Challenge and we should have been running at least a minute and a half slower so we’d be more at our targeted race pace, but we couldn’t slow ourselves down enough.

Four quick and easy miles with my wife.

The schedule said four for today, but I wanted to do a couple extra. The weather was windy as hell and it was actually pretty brutal, but I kept a quick pace despite that. Without my wife there to keep me in check, I was probably faster than I should be training at right now. I really should be going as easy as possible on my knees and ankles, but a faster 7:15-7:45 pace is what feels more natural to me so it’s hard to keep myself slow a lot of the time.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve run three days in a row, but we gotta get some of the miles in that we missed the other day. Today was even faster than yesterday and both of our legs felt great, we only stopped at eight instead of ten because of bathroom related issues.

Even though it’s Christmas, we still need to get a run in. Especially with yesterday’s fail. We did the ten that was scheduled for today and are going to do another ten tomorrow. The weather today seemed like it would be breezy and cool, but we both ended up getting pretty hot out there today even with light clothing on.
The pace today was definitely much faster than we should have been running at, but it felt good for both of us today.

The wife and I set out for 20 miles today, but her shin was really killing her early on. She had to call it a quits and because we didn’t run from the house, I wouldn’t have been able to continue running. We’re going to have to re-work the schedule a bit to make it up.

Four miles by myself tonight. Faster that I’ve been running lately with my wife, but not too fast.

We had scheduled 10 miles for today, but it was extremely cold out and motivation was hard to come by. We also had a party at our house last night so I had already decided yesterday that I wasn’t going to run at all (so I could drink and not worry about it). Though, I woke up feeling fine to run and eventually worked up the motivation to head out the door before it got dark out.
We dressed better than yesterday, but my body felt unevenly temperatured the entire time. I had hot and cold patches all over. It was really awkward.
