Snowocolypse!

Ryan Hall outkicked, but not his wife! Great performances from the Halls - not too disappointed about Ryan, as he ran well and just got caught at the end. This is the beginning for his buildup for Boston, so he has a few more months to kick it into gear. Sadly Bernard Lagat was unable to win his 9th consecutive Wanamaker Mile, but a great attempt nonetheless...

Fri, Jan 28th -5 mile fartlek, 2 minutes on, 1 minute off. Felt ok.

Saturday, Jan 29th - 4 miles - ran with Tim around his area, did out and back in Maryville roads. Got faster on each mile, and felt overall decent. 33:15 I believe was the overall time...

Sunday, Jan 30th - 12 miles. Ran first 7 with Tim at pretty easy pace, looped around my neighborhood and town. Last 5 did solo, hit MP effort and felt decent doing so. 43 miles total this week, ok for now.

Monday, Jan 31st - SNOWOCOLYPSE!!! 0 Miles, Mother Nature wins with her ugly sleeting, so stayed inside all day/night instead.

Tuesday, Feb 1st - 8 miles - the guilt of not running caught up to me, so strapped on the shoes pretty late. Roads were covered, but not awful. Looped around the neighorhood, then ran around town. Streets were clear of cars (awesome!), so ran on the roads. Wind was brutal, but got through it. Coolest moment of the run was getting pulled over by a cop (flashing lights and all), and getting called "crazy" by him.
