If you're in Calgary you know what's happening outside. If you're near by I'm sure it's blizzarding there too! Boy am I ever relieved that I got the long run done yesterday. Still feeling a bit disappointed I couldn't go skiing with my buddy Cam. We were to do the Moraine lake trail today, but I bailed. My car tires are not safe to run on the highway in a snow storm.
Yesterday's long run went well. My legs weren't quite recovered from the last hard run on thursday, but still not too too bad. Lately I've been doing a few runs with a couple new friends, Chris, Jared. They run suuuuuuuuuuuuper early, yesterday we started at 6:30 am!! This week Melissa(a girl I coach) joined us for part of it as she runs the same pace as we do. Strava has this challenge to do a 20 miler in the first two weeks of March. Chris and I had both signed up for it and since our long run was going to be 25-30km anyways we decided to add a couple km to finish the challenge. It went pretty much as planned, we kept the pace down. Chris made sure and wasn't afraid to let us know when the pace crept up. He was still feeling a bit beat up after running the frozen ass 50km two weeks ago.
So today my legs are a bit sore and I'm really happy the running is done for the most part this weekend. I'll probably do a short one a little later. Maybe even outside in the blizzard? Or I'll go to the gym, I haven't decided yet.
Oh as you can see from the picture I got a haircut!! I know if you're reading you're probably wondering what the heck I was thinking shaving it that close. Well it's kind of a funny story. I usually get it buzzed close just not that close! I use the first attachment so it goes quite short, it was high time for a buzz again yesterday. I buzz most of it, then lisa comes and gives it the finishing touches. So I had finished most of it and needed lisa's help. The hair seemed more staticy and it was really annoying me more than usual. So I took off the attachment to clean it with the little brush. Anyways lisa was there so I bent down over the sink to have her do the touchup. The razor felt a lil solid and I kinda peeked up. lol I said something like "ummm Lisa look at the razor, anything missing??" So anyways she hadn't noticed since there isn't that much difference betwen the first attachment and nothing so she'd already finished going over part of my head. Sooo she had to do the rest. It was funny, she felt really bad, but honestly it hardly bothered me. So I'm bald, feel free to laugh at me. :P
Marathon training overall is going well, I'm starting to get faster again! My mileage is up, sitting at about 80 - 85 km per week for maybe 6 weeks now and it's slowwwly creeping up from there. I'm aiming at the calgary marathon for now, Iron legs 50m in Aug. And also a couple halfs, maybe a 10k? Running is going well, I'm training smart staying clear of injuries! Hope everyone else's training is going well. Cheers,
