Weekly Total: (drumroll please)-- 70.5 miles in singles. This was a tough week to get in quality training. With opening semester meetings and workshops, I didn't have access to any indoor tracks. Plus, there was a lot of snow, it was ice cold, and I was a little on the less motivated side. Wish I got in another workout, but I'll take what I've got. I'd like to average 70 miles/wk over the whole year of 2005. My achilles still hurts, laying off hard workouts this week could only do so much, as I was slipping around a lot in the snow, which also leads to problems.

Sunday. 1.23.05
67 minutes. 10+ miles. Ran around the local roads in the bitter cold and snow. About a foot of snow bombed the area last night, so I was glad to get out at all.

Saturday. 1.22.05
78 minutes. 11+ miles. Ran around roads. Thought I'd get in a workout this morning, but the snow came earlier than I expected. Already an inch by the time I got out the door, and I was slipsliding along. Was pelted with snow in blizzard conditions. The worst was when ice accumulated on my eyelids and froze them in a grimacing postion. I pulled a recon mission and rescued the Antelope, which has been chilling at the train station the last month. When I got back, I was close to hypothermic Had to put some blankets on and recover for a while. My hands hurt the remainder of the day.
Fired up the wafflemaker later on, feasted, took a nap to recover, then wasted away the day.

Friday. 1.21.05
65 minutes. 10 miles. It was really cold out today. I ran out towards Haverford along Montgomery.

Thursday 1.20.05
14 min warmup.
30 min fartlek-- 3X( 3min on, 1min off, 2 on, 1 off, 1 on, 1 off) then 2X (1 on 1 off)
20 min cooldown.
Ran down around the Willows park, even though there was too much snow to run the trails, I just stayed on the narrow, busy roads. Say 10-10.5 miles total. OK workout, not superduper hot though.

Wednesday. 1.19.05
63min. 9.5-10 miles. Well, considered doing a workout, but then it snowed. And was really cold. I ran around the local Golf Course, probably the last I'll see of soft surfaces for a while.
