After much discussion we decided to name this blog entry "Frozen Eyelashes and the Importance of Running Partners." Met Bryant and Bret at Riverdale parkway. Temp said -3° and when we finished the phone said -4°. Glad i had Bret and Bryant to run with because otherwise my bed was really warm this morning.

Lunch: 7.5 solo on base easy. No watch. Side note from this morning. One of my coworkers was talking about this group of nut jobs she saw running at 620 in the morning in Riverdale and hiw they must have a few screws loose to run in that weather. I walked over and said that its was me running and she started laughing thinking I was kidding. When she realized I wasn't she just gave me a funny look and told me I was crazy. Made my morning.

1K repeats today. Went on the treadmill because of the ice. 3.2 warm-up with strides. 6x1k @ 4:55 mile pace (so 3:04 1k) with 200 meters jog in between (including speed up and slow down of treadmill) hit them all but it was hurting by the end. Little over 2.5 mile cool down. Very happy with the workout.

Lunch: well this sucks. Made it 2 miles into my double no problem took a funny step on some ice and my right calf cramped. Its a simple knot but it makes it hars to walk. I was lucky enough to have had someone see it happen and he gave me a ride back, but ugh. I really hope its something light.
