I ran 4 times this week, 26.2 miles.
Sun: Rest day. CJ and I both felt like crap. I had toothaches on the left side of my mouth. CJ thought that her upset stomach was caused by a mild egg allergy. We watched the Winter Olympics - Canada beat the US in men's hockey. We could have watched the Nascar race or the Lakers-Nuggets game but the channel stayed stuck on the Winter Olympics. I made it out to do some grocery shopping. CJ fixed the broken zipper on my parka with a keyring ... she was quite resourceful.
Mon: Rest day. I did taxes for my family after supper ... how exciting!
Tue: 6.5 miles, 58:25, 8:59 pace, FF Cobb's Hill run, 34F, night, calm, 3 stops, no pain. I think I was a bit dehydrated.
Your usual FF Cobb's Hill run. Kind of warm though., I could have carried water. I did 3 Y's plus a bit to walk CJ back to FF. She did her first 1/2 Y ... she enjoyed it and can't wait to do more!

Life. A busy day at work, 10 flights of stairs, 4 buildings to roam about in during the course of my day. Plus, my dentist started a root canal on #10. How exciting!

Wed: 2.4 miles, 33:00, 13:45 pace, Snow Cheap #6, 31F, night, calm, no pain.
Last Snow Cheap of 2010. There was a lot of wet snow still up in Cobb's Hill. The footing was slippery. I ended up walking the big hills, running the flats and downhills, slid on my butt down the last big hill. Got some swag at the Winter Warrior awards, a small bag to hold stuff. I was 58th out of 111, results here. I was 5th out of 14 in my age group, results here.
Thu: Rest night.
Fri: 4.2 miles, 35:26, 8:26 pace, FF Happy Hour run, 31F, dusk, calm, no stops, no pain.
I ran easy and stayed up with the lead group. I didn't push since I want to run around the bay tomorrow.
My car lost power and died on 104 opposite Rochester General. Luckily CJ had AAA. She had the car towed to my auto mechanic, Russ. Hopefully, whatever wrong is something inexpensive.
Sat: 13.1 miles, 2:02:31, 9:21 pace, Run around the Bay, 20F at the start, easy, numerous walks, no pain.
Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Run around the Bay
Around 80 hardcore runners gathered at the Irondequoit Bay Outlet Bridge at 7AM. We started off back up the Culver Rd hill. I soon dropped back and started with walking breaks. I just didn't have the energy to keep running. I am not a morning runner right now. But I kept going, going down the Empire Blvd hill was sweet, running/walking back up not so much. I did the best I could. I know I am ramping up my running kind of quickly. I think that I need to take some medium distance runs of 8-10 miles before I attempt another half. But all in all, a great sunny, brisk morning to be out running ... relatively sweet.
My car was relatively inexpensive. My EGR valve was stuck open and my sending unit from the gas tank was dirty ... so I ran out of gas! I picked up the car and then took CJ for a drive to show her the various buildings where I work, the half marathon route I ran this morning and to Wal-Mart to buy a coffee maker. CJ made a pasta dinner with meatballs. We tested out the new coffee maker by making coffee with Kentucky brandy and whipped cream. Ymmm!
Keeping active, Doug
