Today was a GOOD day.
Woke up at 5am who does that on a weekend haven't been able to do this all week, put in a load of laundry, spoke to James, dealt with woke, read, then went to the basement and did D2S P3 RAMP + Complex metabolic workout using a 16kg kettlebell then onto the treadmill for 2 easy miles.

Consume a egg sandwich, honey waffle and coffee then it was off to Everett Covered bridge for hill repeats, this was so much harder with the 3 inches of snow on the trail, I was so proud of myself no walking just slow steady pace up and down, I was only half a mile behind what I did 2 weeks ago, so not bad. Garmin is missing 1 hill loop, accidentally turn it off when glove was removed.

Tomorrow hoping for 10-16miles but will cut it short if I have any problem with my right ankle, which is currently not very happy, problem with snow covered trail you don't see the roots/branches on the ground so the ankle get quite a bit of a workout.







My Kelly Coffey Meyer DVD came in the mail today, looking forward to doing them, will probably, start then next month in a rotation with Cathe.

2015 weather is starting out has interesting as how 2014 finished off, started off this morning with icy conditions but with the increasing temperature which will top out about 50+ ended up with rain, luckily hill repeats didn't start until 10am which by then the rain has slowed and temps were above freezing.

Met the ultra trail group for hill repeats at the Everett Covered Bridge, didn't run with them all of last year and wasn't sure how this was going to go, was I going to be able to do the whole 2 hours running or what. It was great seeing a lot of running friends at the start and then the fun began, Shelby was able to join me for this and it was great pacing and chatting with her.

We did it, got in 2 hours of hill repeats(which included warmup and CD both under 1 mile) without walking, legs felt pretty good and endurance wasn't bad, had a great time running with the group.




Got back took off the wet clothes and did Cathe Lift it Hiit It Legs, this was a great leg finisher, I felt good today, got into the tub for a nice Epsom salt soak.
