Sun: I celebrated my first Valentine's Day with CJ. It was a lazy day. I gave her a box of chocolates and a Dunkin Donuts Apple Spice donut. I set up our new Canon Pixma MX860 printer. We can now print wirelessly. I haven't tried anything else yet ... like scanning.
Mon: I did want to work out after work but I felt like crap. My abs were really sore for some reason.
Tue: 6.2 miles, 52:51, 8:31 pace, Fleet Feet Cobb's Hill run, 27F, night, a bit windy, a light snow, no stops, no pain.
Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Fleet Feet Cobb's Hill run, 3 Y's
I ran a nice, steady, easy pace ... 3 Y's! Sweet! The best run of the young year! A workout at work and play ... 10 flights, 15301 steps.
Wed: 3.6 miles, 47:30, 13:12, FF Snow Cheap #5, easy, 27F, driving wet snow, brisk wind, no pain.
A return to racing in 2010 at Snow Cheap #5. CJ might have thought I was nuts to go out, but understood. Once I was there, it was sweet! Just took it easy, one foot in front of the other. It was a long course with a lot up and down. I finished 58th out of 109, results here and 6th out of 12 in my age group, results here. I enjoyed catching up with fellow racing friends. Yes, it was snowing ... we just chuckled, laughed and played in the snow!
Thu: A rest day. A workout at work: 22 flights, 6737 steps. CJ made an excellent dinner of ribs, scalloped potatoes and peas. Later, some German Riesling along with some Valentine's Day candy.
Fri: 4.15 miles, 32:20, 7:47 pace, FF Friday Happy Hour run, 31F, a little hard, night, calm, no stops, no pain.
My Garmin wouldn't turn on, so my time is off of someone who was roughly 30 seconds behind me. I definitely put the hammer down for this run ... it felt good! CJ says that my "runner's ass is back"! CJ went out to Planet Fitness for a 8 or 9 mile workout on the bike. We had a salmon and scallop potato dinner.
I soft reset my Garmin by using http://wiki.motionbased.com/mb/Soft_Reset with success.
BTW, I finally got around to scanning from the ADF on the new printer. I can scan to any laptop ... sweet!
Sat: A lazy morning and afternoon with CJ. I waited for the wind to die down a bit so I could go out and change my oil. Then CJ and I made out to Planet Fitness for a late workout. CJ did a 2 mile workout on the 'mill, I did a 700 calorie, 5K in 25:10 (8:07 pace), 5 mile in 41:10 (8:14 pace) workout.
Keeping active, Doug
