Chuck - Chiller Challenge 8K - 35:06/7:02

Cold, snowy day for the annual Chiller Challenge. The worst part was the footing. Some parts, especially the last two miles, were weeks-old ice covered by snow.

Mile 1 - 7:07
Mile 2 - 6:55
Mile 3 - 6:58
Mile 4 - 7:05
Mile 5 - 7:00 (7:03 pace)

I got third in my division and 15th (out of 137) overall, beating a lot of runners who had beaten me last year.

Chuck - 5.0/34:55

No Frills Racing Series. It was about 9 degrees outside, but thankfully it was sunny with only a slight breeze. I could have run a bit faster, but I cruised the final mile knowing that I have another race tomorrow. 7:07, 7:00, 6:55, 6:48, 7:05

The goal for tomorrow is 34:45, with a stretch goal of 34:30.

Chuck - 4.0/30:00

Bringing the treadmill up to 10 mph is absolutely nothing right now.

Chuck - 4/36:00

Recovery run

Bob - Back in action

No, i didn't run, but wanted to commit to myself and the blog that I would. What was a cold turned into a nasty little sinus infection and trouble just getting myself out of bed in the morning. Today I finally felt better, and will plan on a couple of short runs this week with maybe a 5-6 miler this weekend.

Can't believe Chuck ran 18 miles, really impressive.

Chuck - 18/2:30

That's right, 18 miles. Two and a half laps around Lake Zorinsky. No problems whatsoever.

With all the running I did in the last couple of years, it seems that I may have crossed into a different class of runner. Not a faster class, just a different one. The fact that I can run virtually no longer distances and then go out and run 18 with no difficulty is strange.

The revised schedule is just to do one more long run one month from now. That will be it before Little Rock.

Chuck - 4.0/32:00
