Monday: 4 miles w/Jimmy. I parked at Bear Mtn and ran the famed Gulf Rds of Hinsdale and Chesterfield which are closed to traffic for the winter. Nice day.
Tuesday: 0.
Wednesday: 3 miles w/Jimmy on HRT. Gina let me sneak off for an afternoon run. Beautiful conditions for running - sunny, cold, and good footing.
Thursday: 0. Refereed two games. I was able to lift upper x 2 beforehand. Back is a little tight.
Friday: 4 w/Jimmy on HRT. Felt good to hit the trails today after school. Grateful to get out in the sunshine. My back is a little tight.
Saturday: 6 at the Dublin Winter Chiller. 3.5 mile race in 27:xx. I will update once the results are up. Brutal weather 15 degrees with 30mph gusts, and a brutal course. A lot of huge climbs. Fun day with two current athletes and Danny, my former athlete, who is getting ready to head off for the Marines in a couple months.
Sunday: 5 w/Jimmy on HRT. Wow! I underdressed and my legs felt heavy from yesterday. The wind was blasting off the river from WNW. Thankfully the sun was shining!

1/13 - 1/19 Trading miles for smiles
1/13-1/15 - Goose egg.
1/16 - 1 mile before school w/ Jimmy. I had to referee two games in the evening. I managed to lift before the games - upper x3.
1/17 - off. Doctor's appointment after school. No time to run.
1/18 - 4 miles in Pisgah w/Jimmy. Have a cold.
1/19 - off. My cold is worse. Didn't feel like running.
This was a dismal week for running, but a good week for being a dad. I'm figuring out that it is going to be really lucky if I can get out in the early am before school. Usually, I'm with the babies from 4 am until I leave. I don't have much energy at 7:30 pm when they are back down for sleep at night. I'll have to figure it out. Here's a couple shots of Emma smiling after her bath on Sunday and one of Brady hanging out.

1/6 - 1/12
Monday: 0. I needed a day off.
Tuesday: 0. I should have run.
Wednesday: 3 in the early am w/Jimmy. It was around 0 degrees when I headed out the door, but I was well bundled. Felt good to get back out there after 2 days off. My back was pretty tight yesterday and Monday, but it was ok today.
Thursday: 0. Lifted upper x3 and refereed two basketball games.
Friday: 0. Parenting duties the last two mornings made it so I didn't get out before school. No energy to get out the door today. This is one pathetic week!
Saturday: 6 miles solo Hinsdale roads. I tried getting out the door earlier today, but the roads were suicidal from the ice. I ended up driving to the boat launch parking area and ran a strange combination to get to 48 minutes. I would like to get 11 tomorrow in order to salvage at least 20 miles this week.
Sunday: 3.5 w/ Jimmy on the roads in the morning. My right calf/achilles was a little tight on this run. I'm going to try to get out later in the afternoon if the stars align and the babies take a long nap.
