Glad you were feeling well.

First run after Friday’s chemo infusion. Did a 3 mile fartlek run. Felt really well rested and ready to pick up where I left off.  Weather was off and on mist and bit warmer at 50°F.

I did 8.6 and somehow found the one lone stretch of plowed bike path on an 18 mile stretch rail trail. The rest had about 2" of fresh snow and was not a great surface. Did most of my warm up on that but returned to the clear path and did 5X 4 min tempo. Paces off by 20 sec/mile compared to October. So either I'm out of shape, it was generally cold (18 F), or still feeling the effect of the head cold I have had for a week now. I think all three apply.

4.2 miles in the glorious sun! Felt better than last night but still sore. Wondering if I'm low key sick.

I did not get the work out in that I wanted. I was sore to start and didn't think I was going to be up to it but I gave it a go. I ended up with a 2 mile warm up, 2xmile at threshold with 200 meter jog, and about a 2 mile cool down. Total of 6.49 miles. The plan was for 5xmile at threshold but there was just no way it was happening, I started the cool down after the 2nd repeat.

I was beating myself up about it but I live to run another day!

7.8 chilly miles
3F outside, 99% snow and ice packed. I like my Hoka Speedgoats on the ice, they handle really well.

I was looking at those for a NYE "trail" race I'm doing. I almost pulled the trigger but decided to just run in the Nike Ultrafly trail I already have. The trail is only cinders but I'm worried what that's going to be like with 550+ people on packed snow. There's 1/3 mile portion on pavement or I would wear a pair of XC spikes.

6 miles and strides, about a mile on packed snow. It was 18°F and felt like 12°F. I wore two pairs of gloves, both Smartwool and one pair were wind resistant but my fingers still hurt afterwards. I ordered a pair of mittens but that's not going to help with tonight's long speed workout ;(
